Management of Headaches Through Dietary Regimens
摘要
Migraine is a complex neurological disorder influenced by genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, including diet. Dietary choices and specific nutritional deficiencies have been implicated in migraine pathogenesis, while tailored dietary interventions may serve as effective strategies for prevention and management. This chapter explores the role of key nutrients such as magnesium, riboflavin, coenzyme Q10, alpha-lipoic acid, and omega-3 fatty acids in migraine prevention. It also examines the impact of specific dietary regimens, including the ketogenic diet, Mediterranean diet, low glycemic index diet, and elimination diets, on migraine occurrence and severity. Additionally, herbal and nutraceutical approaches, such as feverfew, butterbur, and curcumin, are discussed as potential adjunctive treatments. The chapter emphasizes the importance of a personalized approach to dietary modifications, encouraging patients to identify individual triggers and adopt an anti-inflammatory diet to improve migraine outcomes. Integrative strategies combining dietary changes with lifestyle modifications, stress management, and complementary therapies offer a comprehensive framework for effective migraine management.
