MIGRAINE · RESEARCH CONTEXT
Magnesium and migraine prevention
The relevant research question concerns recurring diagnosed migraine, rather than immediate relief of an unspecified headache.
What the reference says
NIH describes limited evidence for reducing migraine frequency. The amounts used for prevention can exceed usual supplemental limits, so this is a use to discuss with a clinician. 1
Ask which outcome is being claimed
Fewer future migraine attacks and less pain during an attack are separate outcomes. A page or product claim should identify which one it means.
