Overview

The goal of this prospective, monocentric, open-label, non-randomized and single arm study is to evaluate a reduction of migraine days per months (MDM) by 25% by using the combined supplementation with Neuro-Complex & Multi after 8 weeks of product intake on participants with diagnosis of migraine meeting the criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) (with or without aura).

The main endpoint of this clinical trial is :

The mean changes in migraine days per month (MDM) after 8 weeks of supplementation.

Participants will:

Orally consume two caps of each product (taken at the same time) daily, one in the morning and one at the lunchtime preferably during meal, for 8 weeks after a running period of 8 weeks without supplementation. Intake will be initiated from the day of follow-up visit (V1) after all study procedures being performed until the day of the end-of-study visit (V2).
