Headache Pain Relief:Coenzyme Q10 As a Migraine Preventive

People who suffer with migraines are always shopping for techniques to help stop Migraine attacks. We have a tendency we would like to avoid medications if and when possible, and we’re necessarily regarding the possible downsides effects of the drugs. Over the years, as well as countless medications, many migraine sufferers have tried many vitamin, mineral, plus herbal supplements to find a effective way of natural migraine relief or headache pain relief. There are times when supplements work for some people. Sadly, more often than not, we have a tendency to see very little if any decrease during the frequency or severity of Migraine Attacks.

An article during the April, 2002, issue of the Journal of the International Headache Society, reports terribly encouraging results from an open label trial of coenzyme Q10 as a Migraine preventive. The introduction to the article says:

“At present there are very few efficacious migraine preventives and fewer without significant side-effects. In medicine there has been a trend towards the development of natural therapies that can be safely taken by all who suffer with a disease regardless of age and past medical history. Migraine in particular is a disorder of young people and this patient population is very resistant to taking any form of medication, especially when it needs to be used on a daily basis. Migraine can be a disabling disorder and migraine preventives have been shown to not only reduce headache frequency, intensity and duration but also improve quality of life. Coenzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring substance and essential element of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. It has been the most extensively studied agent for the treatment of mitochondrial disorders and has been shown to have almost no identifiable side-effects in humans. There has been a recent interest in the role that mitochondria may play in migraine pathogenesis … The objective of this investigation is to assess the efficacy of coenzyme Q10 as a preventive treatment for migraine.”

Key Thoughts from this trial where………………..

* Sixty percent of the patients in the trial achieved a minimum of a fifty percent reduction in frequency of Migraine attacks by the finish of the four-month trial.

* As with nearly all Migraine preventives, is required time to achieve optimum results. around 5 to 12 weeks to achieve a 50% reduction.

* Coenzyme Q10 is effective for both Classic Migraine (with aura) and Common Migraine (without aura).
