Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of Add-on Alpha-Lipoic Acid on Migraine Prophylaxis in an Adolescent Population: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Nutraceuticals like alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) may have potential benefits as prophylactic agents for adolescent migraine, with fewer adverse events than existing medications. The present study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of add-on ALA for prophylaxis in adolescent migraine. A randomized, open-label, add-on clinical trial was conducted with 60 adolescent migraineurs, who were randomized to receive flunarizine or flunarizine with an add-on ALA.
