🪐 Vitamin D Deficiency And Migraines
Vitamin D is known to reduce oxidative stress and may therefore help prevent migraines and reduce sensitivity to migraine triggers. Studies have found that people with higher blood vitamin D levels are significantly less likely to experience migraine headaches than those with deficient vitamin D levels.
Overall, there is not enough evidence to recommend vitamin D supplementation to all headache patients, but the current literature indicates that it may be beneficial in some patients suffering headaches, mainly migraineurs, to reduce the frequency of headaches, especially in those with vitamin D deficiency.
It seems a high proportion of migraine patients might suffer from vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency. Further, the current evidence shows that in addition to routine drug therapy, vitamin D administration might reduce the frequency of attacks in migraineurs.
