Migraine and Homeostasis:What Can we Learn From Glucose

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Migraine Headache

In brief

Patients with migraine often report that stressors such as skipping a meal can bring on a migraine whereas some patients report that their migraine improves with food. Few studies to date have looked at the relationship between blood glucose (sugar) and migraine. We are conducting this study to better understand whether or not changes in blood glucose levels can trigger migraine or provide relief during a migraine attack.
