Home » Pine bark combination for migraine
The Facts:
- Researchers tested a combination of pine bark extract and antioxidant vitamins in people who did not respond to other migraine treatments
- The number and severity of migraine attacks was reduced in people taking the herbal/vitamin product
- This was a small study and further research is needed
Dr Shaun Holt: Migraine is a relatively common condition in western societies that causes a number of symptoms including severe headache, nausea and visual disturbance.
A migraine attack may last for several hours or even days and can affect all aspects of a person’s life. There are several different drug therapies available but not all are effective in all patients.
This was a small scale study. However, the results look promising and it will be interesting to see the outcome of future research with larger numbers of patients.
