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.
