The literature on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is expanding. One of the most common conditions for which CAM is studied in the pediatric population is migraine. Nutraceuticals are a form of CAM that is being used for pediatric migraine prophylaxis.
A literature search was carried out in order to identify both observational studies and randomized controlled trials on the use of nutraceuticals for the prophylaxis of pediatric migraine. Adult studies on included nutraceuticals were also reviewed.
Thirty studies were reviewed on six different nutraceuticals: butterbur, riboflavin, ginkgolide B, magnesium, coenzyme Q10 and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Overall, the quality of the evidence for the use of nutraceuticals in pediatric migraine prophylaxis is poor. Further research needs to be done in order to study the efficacy of nutraceuticals for the prophylaxis of pediatric migraine.
关于补充和替代医学(CAM)的文献正在不断增加。在儿科人群中,研究补充和替代医学最常见的病症之一是偏头痛。营养保健品是一种用于儿童偏头痛预防的补充和替代医学形式。
进行文献检索,以确定关于使用营养保健品预防儿童偏头痛的观察性研究和随机对照试验。还对纳入营养保健品的成人研究进行了综述。
对六种不同的营养保健品进行了30项研究:小白菊、核黄素、银杏内酯B、镁、辅酶Q10和多不饱和脂肪酸。
总体而言,营养保健品用于儿童偏头痛预防的证据质量较差。需要进一步开展研究,以探讨营养保健品预防儿童偏头痛的疗效。
