Oral Magnesium Oxide Prophylaxis of Frequent Migrainous Headache in Children: A Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Abstract

This study does not unequivocally determine whether oral magnesium oxide is or is not superior to placebo in preventing frequent migrainous headache in children, but treatment with the active agent did lead to a significant reduction in headache days. Larger trials involving this safe, appealing complementary therapy are needed.
