Overview

First, the aims of this study are to explore the effect of vitamin D versus placebo in the prevention of episodic migraine. Second, we would like to compare and evaluate the effect of vitamin D plus omega-3 fatty acids versus placebo plus omega-3 fatty acids in terms of migraine frequency, symptom severity, and associated complications.

Description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of supplementing with Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D on the prevention of muscle atrophy and lifestyle performance in migraine patients. Furthermore, it aims to understand the biological mechanisms of action of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D in decreasing migraine attacks, the severity of headaches, and associated complications, as well as inflammatory markers.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
