 * Note: Zinc increases the activation of the Vitamin D Receptor, which allows more vitamin D into cells

Introduction: The efficacy of vitamin D for migraine remains controversial. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the influence of vitamin D versus placebo on treatment in migraine patients.

Methods: We search PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Cochrane library databases through April 2020 for randomized controlled trials assessing the effect of vitamin D versus placebo on treatment efficacy in migraine patients. This meta-analysis is performed using the random-effect model.

Results: Five randomized controlled trials are included in the meta-analysis. Overall, compared with control group in migraine patients, vitamin D treatment is associated with

  • substantially reduced number of headache days
    • (standard mean difference [SMD], -0.53; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.83 to -0.23; P = 0.0006),
  • frequency of headache attacks (SMD, -1.09; 95% CI, -1.86 to -0.32; P = 0.006),
  • headache severity (SMD, -0.55; 95% CI, -0.91 to -0.19; P = 0.0003), and
  • Migraine Disability Assessment score (SMD, -0.76; 95% CI, -1.11 to -0.40; P < 0.0001).

Conclusions: Vitamin D treatment is effective to alleviate migraine.
