Title
Effect of alpha lipoic acid supplementation on migraine treatment: A systematic review
Review Question
Is alpha lipoic acid supplemmentation effective in migraine treatment?
Study Type Included
Inclusions: RCT. Exclusions: Cohort studies, case-control studies, cross-sectional studies, in vitro studies, animal studies, reviews.
Condition Being Studied
Migraine is defined as a common, chronic, throbbing, weakening neurological disease, accompanied by a serious one-sided headache, nausea, vomiting, and photophobia. The exact pathophysiological mechanisms of migraine are not completely understood. However, according to studies, several hypotheses have been proposed in the pathogenesis of migraine. One of the recognized hypotheses on migraine is hypoxia or mitochondrial dysfunction; Hypoxia and mitochondrial dysfunction increase lactate levels in the brain of healthy, MA and MwoA subjects. In some previous studies, elevated serum lactate levels have been reported in patients with migraine (both MA and MwoA). In fact, elevated lactate reflects mitochondrial dysfunction, which may play an important role in migraines. When hypoxia affects tissue, endothelial cells release nitric oxide (NO), consequently increasing the vasodilatation response and oxygen supply to tissues. NO supersensitivity may be a possible molecular mechanism of migraine pain. NO is involved in stimulating cortical spreading depression (CSD) activity and consequently increasing cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs). CAM serum levels show elevated levels of intracellular adhesion molecules (ICAM) and vascular cell adhesion molecules (VCAM) in children and young adults with migraine.
Participant
Inclusions: Individuals with episodic or chronic migraine with or without aura or unspecified, diagnosed according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders criteria, without age or gender restrictions. Exclusions: other types of headaches, pregnant or lactating women, patients with chronic diseases or neurological disorders, use of migraine prophylactic medication or treatment measure in addition to pharmacological intervention, if any, for at least 4 weeks before entering the study.
Animal
Human Disease Modelled
Intervention
Inclusions: Alpha lipoic acid (thiotic acid) oral supplementation alone, instead of pharmacological intervention or add-on therapy, in any dose or time administered per day. Exclusions: Combined with other antioxidant supplements or use of alpha lipoic acid obtained in the diet.
Comparator Control
Inclusions: Placebo, no supplementation, pharmacological intervention. Exclusions: Other antioxidant supplementation.
Main Outcome
Headache severity: pain during the attack, in VAS or point scale (mild, moderate, severe, or similar). Headache duration: hours with pain. Headache frequency: days with migraine attacks per month. Measures of effect The standardized mean difference for headache severity, headache duration, and headache frequency after intervention or placebo in each selected study.
Outcome Measure
Additional Outcome
Not applicable. Measures of effect Not applicable.
