Coenzyme Q10 Migraine Meta-Analysis1 2 3 4 5 Migraine is a chronic, disabling neurovascular disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of moderate-to-severe headache, typically unilateral and pulsating in quality, and frequently associated with nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia.3Santangelo Domenico (2026)Dietary Modulation of Migraine: Metabolic, Neuroinflammatory and Microbiota-Mediated Mechanisms
Coenzyme Q10 Migraine Meta-AnalysisThese processes result in peripheral and central sensitization of nociceptive pathways, thereby amplifying pain perception and contributing to migraine chronicization [].3Santangelo Domenico (2026)Dietary Modulation of Migraine: Metabolic, Neuroinflammatory and Microbiota-Mediated Mechanisms
Coenzyme Q10 Migraine Meta-Analysis6 7 6 8 9 10 11 A growing body of evidence indicates that patients with migraine show impaired energy metabolism and reduced metabolic flexibility [].3Santangelo Domenico (2026)Dietary Modulation of Migraine: Metabolic, Neuroinflammatory and Microbiota-Mediated Mechanisms
Coenzyme Q10 Migraine Meta-AnalysisIn approximately one-third of patients, migraine attacks are preceded or accompanied by transient focal neurological symptoms, known as aura, which most frequently manifests as visual disturbances but may also involve sensory, language, or motor symptoms [].3Santangelo Domenico (2026)Dietary Modulation of Migraine: Metabolic, Neuroinflammatory and Microbiota-Mediated Mechanisms
Coenzyme Q10 Migraine Meta-AnalysisA growing body of evidence points to a significant link between migraine and disruptions in brain energy metabolism ().3Sun Wen-xiu (2025)Energy metabolism disorders in migraine: triggers, pathways, and therapeutic repurposing
Coenzyme Q10 Migraine Meta-AnalysisAs a result, prophylactic treatments for migraine that target brain energy metabolism, including riboflavin, coenzyme Q10, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), and ketogenic diet (KD), have gained increasing attention ().3Sun Wen-xiu (2025)Energy metabolism disorders in migraine: triggers, pathways, and therapeutic repurposing
