The evidence for Ketogenic and low-glycemic-index diets in the treatment of migraine has been rising, a new study identified the benefits of these diets in patients with episodic and chronic migraine: https://t.co/rKlZJt2EGS

The short term effect of CGRP mAbs on bone turnover is explored in this study by @dr_jray1 and colleagues. Short term use of CGRP mAbs are associated with increased markers of bone formation and no change in resorption @MonCCS @alfredhealth

[Neha Dietitian @NehaDietitian]

Diet is so frequently overlooked in headache disorders.
In our MDT headache clinic we use a range of dietary treatments incl
- vitamin & mineral supplements
- anti-inflammatory/Mediterranean diet
- modified carbohydrate/ketogenic diet
- elimination diet
