Can your “diet” provide relief from migraines?
Kristin shared her 6-month Wheat Belly experience:
“Thank you for your books and blog. They have changed my life for the better. I have been a yo-yo dieter all my life, each time gaining more weight back. I was always tired and had migraines several days a week. Now 6 months in and 55 lbs lighter, I feel great and rarely get migraines!”
Kristin’s experience once again highlights that, yes, the Wheat Belly lifestyle achieves substantial weight loss in the majority (who don’t begin with hypothyroidism, adrenal dysfunction, substantial dysbiosis, etc.), but it also eliminates a source–wheat and ...

Experimental Drugs May Help Migraine Sufferers
BOSTON (CBS) — Nearly 30 million Americans suffer from migraines and many get them so often and so severely that they can hardly function.
But now there is a new class of drugs which are showing promise in preventing these terrible headaches.
Anyone who has had a migraine knows just how miserable they are. Not only do people complain of debilitating pain but often nausea and vomiting, sensitivity to lights, and dizziness and sometimes only a dark room can bring comfort. The symptoms can last for days.
While there are a number of medications on the market to treat migraines when they occur, they can be difficult to pr...

Here ’s How Much Caffeine May Trigger a Migraine, According to a New Study
Caffeine can be both a treatment and a trigger for migraine headaches, which makes it difficult for sufferers to know how much to sip. Experts believe caffeine helps block adenosine, a molecule involved in migraine attacks, from binding to receptors in the brain, so many people use it as an at-home remedy; it’s also an ingredient in many over-the-counter migraine drugs. But, counterintuitively, some migraine sufferers also say consuming caffeine can bring on their debilitating headaches.
“The complex thing with caffeine is sometimes it’s harmful and sometime it’s beneficial,” says Elizabeth Mo...

U.S. Approves 1st Drug Developed To Prevent Chronic Migraines
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — U.S. regulators Thursday approved the first drug designed to prevent chronic migraines.
The Food and Drug Administration’s action clears the monthly shot Aimovig for sale. It’s the first in a new class of long-acting drugs for preventing migraines. Three other shots are expected to win approval by next year, and several pills for preventing migraines are being tested.
Current prevention treatments include pills originally developed for epilepsy and other conditions, and the wrinkle reducer Botox, but many patients abandon them because they don’t provide enough relief or cause seriou...

FDA Approves New Drug For Migraine Sufferers
(CNN) — The US Food and Drug Administration on Monday announced the approval of a drug called ubrogepant for the acute treatment of migraine, which could be a new option for people who can’t take or don’t respond to migraine medications currently on the market.
The drug will be sold under the name Ubrelvy by the pharmaceutical company Allergan. It is considered effective for migraine with or without aura, referring to the sensory or visual disturbances that occur among roughly a third of migraine sufferers.
“Ubrelvy represents an important new option for the acute treatment of migraine in adults, as...

Battery-Powered Headband Promises Relief For Migraine Sufferers
BOSTON (CBS) – A slim headband that promises big relief for migraine sufferers will start shipping to patients in the United States this month.
Dr. Andrea Synowiec of the AGH neurology department told WBZ-TV’s Dr. Malika Marshall that she expects migraine patients are excited by the news.
“People who really suffer with migraine are frequently in the emergency room, because they don’t have something that sort of consistently helps,” she said.
The FDA-approved battery operated headband called Cefaly, delivers small pulses of electro-magnetic waves to stimulate the trigeminal nerve — which senses pain in t...

The Trouble With Magnesium and Migraines
Getting magnesium supplementation right can make the difference between magnificent relief from migraine headaches or no benefit at all.
In the Wheat Belly, now the Undoctored program, we use the best form of magnesium available, magnesium bicarbonate, that we make ourselves using the Magnesium Water recipe. But it is important to recognize that, even if you have a normal blood level of magnesium, profound magnesium deficiency can be present and will sustain migraine headaches. Long-term consistent use is therefore crucial for effect.

A New Type of Migraine Drug Treats Pain During an Attack
There’s been a lot of good news recently for people who experience migraines. In 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved three drugs aimed to prevent migraines from occurring, and, over time, help to make them less frequent and less intense.
Treating migraine pain while an attack is underway, however, is a bigger challenge. Triptans are the most popular medications used for this purpose, but they don’t work for everyone. In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers report encouraging results with a promising class of oral drugs called gepants, which are meant to be taken...

Total Migraine Freedom for Breath Powered Intranasal Delivery System Containing 22 mg Sumatriptan Powder (AVP-825) vs 100 mg Oral Sumatriptan from the COMPASS Study of Acute Treatment of Migraine (I3.009)
Conclusions: AVP-825 (22 mg sumatriptan) treatment of acute migraine results in higher rates of TMF at earlier timepoints than the most efficacious dose (100 mg) of oral-SUM, despite less drug exposure. These results demonstrate the superiority of AVP-825 using a more rigorous migraine efficacy endpoint. Findings are consistent with the other outcomes of COMPASS, indicating AVP-825 has superior early efficacy compared to oral-SUM. Supported by Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Disclosure: Dr. Halker has received personal compensation in an editorial capacity for Medlink; Current Neurology; Neuroscience Reports. Dr. Tepper has re...

BOSTON (CBS) – An experimental treatment for migraine headaches is showing real promise for sufferers of the often-chronic condition.
Glen Brown is one of the local patients using the medicated migraine patch; he has been battling migraines since he was a teenager.
“A really bad throbbing headache, lot of times behind my eyes,” he described. “Sometimes they are moderate, sometimes they’re severe. Between work, house stuff, and the kids, life is busy, so if you have a migraine you are out of commission.”

Migraine Patients Have Brain Abnormalities, MRI Scans Show
Patients who suffer from migraines have reduced cortical thickness and surface area in pain-processing regions of the brain, compared to individuals who never have migraines, Italian researchers revealed. They explained in the journal Radiology that brain abnormalities in migraine sufferers may be either present at birth, or develop over time. Migraines are severe, throbbing headaches, which are sometimes accompanied by sensitivity to light, nausea and even vomiting. In some cases, the patient experiences a change in visual function (aura) before or during the headache period...

Migraine Patients Have Brain Abnormalities Which Can Be Demonstrated Using MRI
A new study suggests that migraines are related to brain abnormalities present at birth and others that develop over time. The research is published online in the journal Radiology. Migraines are intense, throbbing headaches, sometimes accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light. Some patients experience auras, a change in visual or sensory function that precedes or occurs during the migraine.

Episodic migraines linked to obesity
People who have the occasional migraine are more likely to suffer from obesity, compared with those who do not have migraines, according to a study published in the journal Neurology. Previous studies have demonstrated a link between people with chronic migraines and obesity, the researchers say. But they add that the research has been conflicting on whether the link is relevant to people who have less frequent migraine attacks. Researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD, conducted a study of 3,862 people whose average age was 47...
