Webinar description:
Chronic migraine headaches are estimated to affect between 1.4% and 2.2% of the population and have a huge impact on wellbeing and quality of life. A diverse range of therapeutic nutritional options have been explored for migraine headaches, with varying degrees of benefit. This presentation explores the clinical evidence for nutritional medicine for migraines, including diet and nutrient-based interventions, from the perspective of personalised or precision nutrition.
Learning objectives:
- Review the pathophysiology of migraine and its relationship to personalised nutritional interventions.
- Summarise human clinical evidence for dietary and nutritional supplement-based interventions for migraine.
- Explore how nutritional interventions could be personalised to migraine subtypes and pathophysiological processes unique to an individual.
- Cover the examples of clinically and testing-led food elimination, low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets, homocysteine lowering B vitamins, riboflavin and palmitoylethanolamide (PEA).
