Melatonin is a pineal hormone that may reduce migraine headaches when used in the evenings.
Pine bark extract, vitamin C and vitamin E combination may be helpful. Eleven men and women with a long history of migraine who did not respond to several type of drugs, including beta-blockers, antidepressants and anticonvulsants, had fewer and less severe headaches, on average, after taking capsules containing an extract of pine bark, vitamin C and vitamin E every day for three months. In one study, doctors treated 12 patients to 10 capsules containing 120 mg pine bark extract, 60 mg vitamin C and 30 IU vitamin E every day for three months. The patients reported an average of 44 days of headache within a 90 day period before treatment, compared to 26 days during the three-month treatment. Before treatment, participants rated their headache severity, on average, as 7.5 out of 10; this fell to 5.5 out of 10 after treatment. Two patients showed no reduction in disability, headache severity or headache days after treatment. Headache, May 2006
