Ginger against migraine: as effective as sumatriptan?

Ginger against migraine: as effective as sumatriptan?

Pivotal study (Maghbooli et al., 2014) — 100 migraine sufferers, ginger 250mg vs sumatriptan 50mg, at the first pain. Effectiveness equivalent to 2 hours (p=0.79). Fewer side effects with ginger.

Mechanisms

  • COX-2 inhibition → fewer vascular prostaglandins
  • Serotonergic action (5-HT1) → modulated cranial vasoconstriction
  • Thromboxane A2 inhibition → regulation of the migraine vascular phase
