The American Academy of Neurology printed an update on their migraine prevention guidelines. Aside from various prescription drugs, they also made recommendations for specific vitamins and herbs. Petasites (butterbur) was perhaps the most effective preventative treatment with the most rigorous research behind it, even more so than NSAIDs. They considered probably effective herbal therapies including feverfew (MIG-99), vitamins riboflavin, and the mineral magnesium, as well as NSAIDs (ibuprofen and naproxen). Of course the herbs, vitamins, and minerals don't ruin your intestinal health like the NSAIDs do. Co-enzyme Q10 was possibly effective.
