Research Summary
A study published in Frontiers in Neurology investigated the effectiveness of Petasites hybridus, a plant from the Asteraceae family, in preventing migraines. This real-world, retrospective study involved 120 patients, 72 with episodic migraines (EM) and 48 with chronic migraines (CM), aged 18 to 60. After 12 weeks of treatment, the average number of headache days per month dropped from 6 to 3 for EM patients and from 26 to 13 for CM patients. Remarkably, migraine attacks were reduced by over 50% in 59% of participants. While 28% experienced mild side effects, the treatment was well tolerated and reduced disability.
