Researcher just released a new study showing that coffee restriction helps in the treatment of migraine.<\/em><\/p>\n

How is this possible? Everyone knows about the pain reliving potential of coffee and many patients have positive experience if it comes to migraine and coffee.<\/p>\n

However, a recently published study (The Journal of Headache and Pain) showed that coffee might be a double-edged sword. Previous studies showed that caffeine can have positive (pain reliving) and negative (pain increasing) effects depending on the dosage.<\/p>\n

The new study assessed the effect of caffeine cessation for at least 2 weeks on the outcome of acute migraine treatment. Surprisingly the patients in the abstinent group (no caffeine) had clearly better results compared to the group who continued to drink coffee.<\/p>\n

\u2022 No-Coffee-Group: 72.2\u00a0% reported an excellent efficacy of treatment<\/p>\n

\u2022 Coffee-Group: 40.3% reported an excellent efficacy of treatment<\/p>\n

\u2022 Moreover the No-Coffee-Group reported greater pain reduction<\/p>\n

Since the study was rather small (n: 108) future researcher is necessary to investigate this topic. However, trying coffee cessation for 2 weeks might be worth a try for some patients.<\/p>\n
