Abstract
Migraine is a functional vascular paroxysmal headache that occurs periodically and usually affects half of the head known as hemicrania.
Many people who suffer from migraine know that certain foods can soften or make migraine headache even worse. Each person is an individual for himself and so is the individual impact of food on the very headache sufferer. There are several types of foods and dietary supplements that have a positive impact on the occurrence of migraine, but also on its treatment. The treatment of migraine may include the use of multiple therapeutic methods at the same time: drug therapy, lifestyle changes and diet, supportive psychotherapy, and implementation of alternative methods of treatment.
The aim of this paper is to present positive and negative effects of diet and nutritional supplements on the incidence and severity of migraine, and therapeutic methods of treating migraine.
