Abstract in brief

  • This study investigates whether Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) can effectively reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches when added to existing preventive treatments.
  • The results show that patients taking CoQ10 experienced a significant decrease in both the number and severity of migraines compared to those not taking it, with no observed side effects.
  • The findings suggest that CoQ10 could be a safe and useful option for preventing migraines, potentially lowering the need for other medications that may cause serious adverse effects.]

@TiredActor I started supplementing with Coq10 to help with my migraines. It took about a week to kick in but I have been good for about a year. Before that I pretty much survived on Excedrin. Here is a clinical trial that was done on this. https://t.co/LSCfNtmcEY

@Deviled_meggs_ CoQ10 levels and migraines have a correlation (the same with B-12). No promises, but seems to have good effects for a lot of individuals. Geek reference: https://t.co/0MGT3g3nAE

@kathyfish I'm not a doctor, but I wanted to share this about Q10 bc it can lessen the severity/frequency of migraines. You might want to share this with your doctor. https://t.co/D4RldZSSd2
