Official title

Clinical & Metabolic Effects of Altering n-3 & n-6 Fatty Acids in Migraine (RCT)

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Migraine is a widespread, debilitating, chronic pain disorder and a major public health challenge. Most conventional, pharmaceutical treatments fail to give satisfactory long-term relief and their repeated use can have important side effects. This project involves implementation of substantial dietary changes in adults with migraine. Our goal is to test the hypothesis that a causal relationship exists between migraine symptoms and the amount and proportions of foods consumed containing defined amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Significant findings supporting the hypothesis will lead to a major shift in both prevention and management of migraine and other chronic pain disorders. Emphasis is on low-cost, health improvement strategies utilizing specific dietary modifications for pain management, based on solid clinical research evidence.
