Description
Gabriele Bertotti and colleagues tested whether eating more polyphenols, plant compounds in fruit, vegetables, tea, and cocoa, links with lower pain sensitivity in migraine patients. Seventy two adults with confirmed migraine kept three day food records and took pressure pain tests on head and other sites, plus disability and stress surveys.
Higher intake went with higher pressure pain thresholds at two head muscles and lower disability scores. Adjusted models kept those links. People with longer migraine history also ate more polyphenols, perhaps learning by trial what helps. A snapshot cannot prove diet eases migraine, but the pattern supports trials of polyphenol rich diets for pain control.
