Association between the prognostic nutritional index and severe headache or migraine: a population-based study

Cheng Peng et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between nutritional status and migraine and found that malnutrition was associated with higher prevalence of severe headache or migraine. Additionally, migraine patients consumed less nutrients but more caffeine and theobromine compared to those without severe headache or migraine.

Nutrition and Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) in Migraine

Michal Fila et al.

Summary: Targeting CGRP and its receptor with antibodies and antagonists has revolutionized the prevention and treatment of migraines. However, not all migraine patients respond well to CGRP-based therapy and some experience gastrointestinal side effects. CGRP may also be involved in the gut-brain-microflora axis and its secretion can be influenced by dietary compounds.

The Assessment of the Risk of Malnutrition (Undernutrition) in Stroke Patients

Olivia Di Vincenzo et al.

Summary: Malnutrition is common in stroke patients and is associated with neurological and cognitive impairment as well as clinical outcomes. Nutritional screening is important for categorizing the risk of malnutrition based on validated tools/procedures. Different screening tools/procedures have shown varying prevalence of nutritional risk in stroke patients and significant relationships with clinical outcomes.

The association between malnutrition status and hemorrhagic transformation in patients with acute ischemic stroke receiving intravenous thrombolysis

Yerim Kim et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of malnutrition, as estimated by CONUT score and PNI, on hemorrhagic transformation and stroke outcomes after IVT. The results showed that higher CONUT scores and lower PNI were associated with hemorrhagic transformation. The combined use of these two nutritional markers could predict hemorrhagic transformation after IVT.

Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) Score and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) Are Good Candidates for Prognostic Markers for Acute Pancreatitis

Mustafa Zanyar Akkuzu et al.

Summary: In this study, the potential benefits of CONUT and PNI as prognostic markers for acute pancreatitis were investigated. The data of 361 patients were retrospectively analyzed and patients were categorized based on their CONUT and PNI scores. The results suggest that CONUT and PNI can be used to predict patients’ nutritional status and the severity of pancreatitis.

Associations between diet quality, DASH and Mediterranean dietary patterns and migraine characteristics

Hande Bakirhan et al.

Summary: This study showed that adopting a Mediterranean diet or having a good diet quality pattern can help alleviate the symptoms of individuals with migraine.

Baseline Objective Malnutritional Indices as Immune-Nutritional Predictors of Long-Term Recurrence in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke

Xiaoyan Han et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that CONUT and PNI are promising screening indicators to identify AIS patients with impaired immune-nutritional status who are at higher risk of long-term RIS and MACEs.

Nutraceuticals and migraine: further strategy for the treatment of specific conditions

Simone Quintana et al.

Summary: Nutraceuticals are food or dietary supplements that provide medicinal or health benefits. They are used in preventive treatment of migraine along with conventional drugs. These non-pharmacological therapies, such as magnesium, coenzyme Q10, feverfew, riboflavin, and phycocyanins, are particularly helpful for certain patients who cannot take or tolerate conventional drug therapy, such as adolescents, pregnant or breastfeeding women, the elderly with complex drug therapy, and patients with contraindications to usual pharmacological treatments. The available evidence shows moderate efficacy but excellent safety and tolerability.

Ketogenic diet in refractory migraine: possible efficacy and role of ketone bodies-a pilot experience

Carlo Lovati et al.

Summary: The study suggests that a ketogenic diet (KD) may be a useful option for refractory migraine, as it can significantly reduce migraine attack frequency and headache intensity. Ketones appear to play a role in migraine modulation.

Prognostic nutritional index predicts clinical outcomes in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis

Jiawei Zhao et al.

Summary: This study found that lower PNI in patients with CVST is associated with a poor prognosis, with PNI being a significant predictive factor for adverse outcomes in CVST patients. Additionally, lower PNI values were correlated with higher mortality rates in this patient population.

Nutrients to Improve Mitochondrial Function to Reduce Brain Energy Deficit and Oxidative Stress in Migraine

Michal Fila et al.

Summary: The pathogenesis of migraine is still unclear, but brain energy deficit and mitochondrial function may play important roles. In addition to conventional drugs, certain vitamins and supplements may help in preventing and treating migraines.

Association Between the Prognostic Nutritional Index and Cognitive Function Among Older Adults in the United States: A Population-Based Study

Jie Zhou et al.

Summary: The study found a significant relationship between the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and cognitive function in elderly individuals, with those having normal PNI levels showing lower odds of cognitive function impairment (CFI) and reduced intake of nutrients in the low PNI group.

Dietary alteration of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids for headache reduction in adults with migraine: randomized controlled trial

Christopher E. Ramsden et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary interventions on lipid mediators involved in headache pathogenesis and headache frequency in adults with migraines. Results showed that increasing n-3 fatty acids and reducing n-6 linoleic acid can decrease the duration and frequency of headaches, but did not significantly improve quality of life.

A Bidirectional View of Migraine and Diet Relationship

Parisa Gazerani

Summary: Researchers have found that lifestyle and dietary factors play a crucial role in triggering migraines, and making changes in lifestyle and dietary habits can be beneficial in alleviating migraine symptoms. Dietary factors have a significant impact on migraines, with a focus on content and quality of diet, but the specific causal relationship between diet and migraines is still not clearly established.
