The Role of Magnesium in Neurological Disorders
Abstract: Magnesium is well known for its diverse actions within the human body. From a neurological standpoint, magnesium plays an essential role in nerve transmission and neuromuscular conduction. It also functions in a protective role against excessive excitation that can lead to neuronal cell death (excitotoxicity), and has been implicated in multiple neurological disorders. Due to these important functions within the nervous system, magnesium is a mineral of intense interest for the potential prevention and treatment of neurological ...

MAGraine: Magnesium compared to conventional therapy for treatment
of migraines
Abstract
Due to the healthcare burden associated with migraines, prompt and effective treatment is vital to improve patient outcomes and ED workflow. This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial. Adults who presented to the ED with a diagnosis of migraine from August of 2019 to March of 2020 were included. Pregnant patients, or with renal impairment were excluded. Patients were randomized to receive intravenous magnesium, prochlorperazine, or metoclopramide. The primary outcome was change in pain ...

Headaches and Magnesium: Mechanisms, Bioavailability, Therapeutic Ecacy and Potential
Advantage of Magnesium Pidolate
Abstract: Magnesium deficiency may occur for several reasons, such as inadequate intake or increased gastrointestinal or renal loss. A large body of literature suggests a relationship between magnesium deficiency and mild and moderate tension-type headaches and migraines. A number of double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trials have shown that magnesium is effcacious in relieving headaches and have led to the recommendation of oral magnesium for headache relief in ...

Evaluation of Vitamin D Levels and Response to Therapy of Childhood Migraine
Abstract: Background and Objectives: Vitamin D deficiency and insuciency are related with many neurological diseases such as migraine. The aim of this study was to investigate whether pediatric migraine is associated with vitamin D deficiency and the eect of vitamin D therapy on the frequency, duration, severity of migraine attacks, and Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment (PedMIDAS).
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively examined the patients’ levels of calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, ...

Effect of Vitamin D Deficiency on the Frequency of Headaches in Migraine
Background and Purpose: The risk of vitamin D deficiency varies with the season. The frequency of vitamin D deficiency in migraine patients and its association with migraine are unclear.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated first-visit migraine patients between January 2016 and May 2017, and investigated the demographics, season, migraine subtypes, frequency, severity, and impact of migraine, psychological and sleep variables, climate factors, and vitamin D levels. The nonfasting serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concen...

The potential role of serum vitamin D level in migraine headache: a case–control study
Purpose: Much concern was directed toward exploring the relationship between vitamin D and migraine. There is strong evidence that vitamin D supplementation can decrease frequency, severity, and duration of migraine headache attacks. The aim of this work was to investigate the difference in serum levels of 25 (OH)-vitamin D between patients with migraine and healthy controls, to determine the differences in headache characteristics
according to vitamin D status, and to correlate serum 25 (OH)-vitamin ...

The Role of Vitamin D in Primary Headache–from Potential Mechanism to Treatment
Abstract: Some studies have suggested a link between vitamin D and headache; however, the underlying physiological mechanisms are unclear. We aimed to summarize the available evidence on the relationship between vitamin D and the various subtypes of primary headaches, including migraines and tension-type headaches. All articles concerning the association between primary headache and vitamin D published up to October 2019 were retrieved by searching clinical databases, including: EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed, ...
