Abstract

Migraine is a primary episodic headache disorder that is variously accompanied by neurological, gastrointestinal and autonomic changes. It is one of the most common neurological diseases that causes loss of employment, especially in young people. In migraine treatment, it is necessary to avoid triggering factors and reduce the frequency, duration and severity of attacks. Treatment approaches are changing day by day and the search for new treatments continues. The term nutraceutical can be briefly considered as food and nutritional components prepared in the form of medicines and used for therapeutic purposes. The use of nutraceuticals in migraine treatment is becoming widespread and gaining importance. In this section, nutraceuticals used in migraine treatment are evaluated.
