“…There have been two studies that investigated the role of low fat diets in the prevention of migraine headache. Ferrara and colleagues performed a cross‐over study in which 83 persons with episodic or chronic migraine were randomized to a low or normal lipid diets and then crossed over to the opposite diet . The low lipid diet restricted lipids to <20% of their total daily energy intake, while the normal lipid diet had lipid contents of 25–30%.…”

Background/Objectives Different triggers including environmental, hormonal, and dietary factors have been introduced as migraine risk factors. There is some evidence to suggest that a high quality of diet could be effective regarding management of migraine. In this present study, we hypothesized that the diet quality of women with chronic migraine (CM) might be different from women with episodic migraine (EM). Methods In this cross‐sectional study, 116 women with chronic and 169 women with episodic migraine (25‐55 years old) were recruited from the neurology clinics of Golestan hospital in Ahvaz (southwest Iran) based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders‐III. Anthropometric data including weight, height, waist, and hip circumference were measured. Dietary intake data were obtained using a reliable and valid semi‐quantitative food frequency questionnaire that included 168 food items. The diet quality of subjects was calculated using the Healthy Eating Index‐2015 (HEI‐2015). Results The mean HEI score of participants was 57.29 ± 7.98. The participants were classified into 3 groups of “poor,” “needs improvement,” and “good” based on their diet quality. The frequencies of each group were 50/285 (17.5%), 233/285 (81.8%), and 2/285 (0.7%), respectively. Moreover, the mean of HEI score in women with CM was significantly lower than women with EM (55.93 ± 7.90 vs 58.93 ± 7.93, P = .02). Moreover, there was a significant negative association between CM and HEI score of women (β = −2.03; 95% CI: [−3.97 to −0.10]; P = .04). Conclusions Women with CM had a lower diet quality than that of EM. Moreover, CM was significantly and inversely associated with HEI score in women.

“…76,77 Migraine patients with CD often experience a significant improvement in migraine symptoms upon commencement of the gluten-free diet. [82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95] With the exception of the omega-3:omega-6 modified diet discussed above, the study designs did not adequately control to isolate the effect of the macronutrient modifications within the diet. 81 Other Macronutrient Patterns.-The macronutrients are those which contribute energy (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins), and many therapeutic and fad diets modify the ratio of the various macronutrients to achieve desired effects.…”

Background.-The gastrointestinal symptoms of migraine attacks have invited numerous dietary hypotheses for migraine etiology through the centuries. Substantial efforts have been dedicated to identifying dietary interventions for migraine attack prevention, with limited success. Meanwhile, mounting evidence suggests that the reverse relationship may also exist -that the biological mechanisms of migraine may influence dietary intake. More likely, the truth involves some combination of both, where the disease influences food intake, and the foods eaten impact the manifestations of the disease. In addition, the gut's microbiota is increasingly suspected to influence the migraine brain via the gut-brain axis, though these hypotheses remain largely unsubstantiated.Objective.-This paper presents an overview of the strength of existing evidence for food-based dietary interventions for migraine, noting that there is frequently evidence to suggest that a dietary risk factor for migraine exists but no evidence for how to best intervene; in fact, our intuitive assumptions on interventions are being challenged with new evidence. We then look to the future for promising avenues of research, notably the gut microbiome.Conclusion.-The evidence supports a call to action for high-quality dietary and microbiome research in migraine, both to substantiate hypothesized relationships and build the evidence base regarding nutrition's potential impact on migraine attack prevention and treatment.
