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
