Abstract in brief

  • The meta-analysis evaluated whether Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) can help reduce migraine severity, frequency, and duration in adults by analyzing six randomized controlled trials with 371 participants, but found no significant effect on the severity of migraines.
  • CoQ10 was shown to significantly decrease the duration and frequency of migraine attacks, with reductions in headache length and how often migraines occurred, based on statistical measures.
  • Overall, CoQ10 seems to have beneficial effects in lowering how long and how often migraines happen, although it might not reduce how severe the pain feels during an attack.]
