Hi,
Has Anyone tried Coenzyme Q10 for migraine? I heard it helps…
Emma
Dr. Hain of Chicago Dizziness and Hearing says:
[per the Web site]
This vitamin (100 mg three times/day) was compared in a randomized double-blind trial and found to be well tolerated for reducing attack frequency, headache-days, and days with nausea. (Standor et al, 2005). The effect was strongest for attack frequency and nausea days. Placebo
The boldfaced word (his emphasis, not mine) is his summing-up of its effect.
Hi Emma,
Definitely seems to have an effect and worth a shot. I was not able to handle it very well but would like to revisit it at a lower dose.
You’ll notice on the graph how those on CoQ10 saw a reduction in migraine frequency.

Can someone try to explain to me what Hain was thinking when he wrote that?
“Yap yap, this works great in double blind studies. Summary: PLACEBO”. WTF? :?
It looks to me that he marked it this way to indicate that it was a placebo-controlled trial. S
No, I don’t think so. See: dizziness-and-balance.com/di … raine.html
Most treatments end with conclusions such as “placebo”, “we don’t find it effective”, “not sure” etc.
