Article Synopsis
- Migraine is a common neurological disorder, and this meta-analysis examined the potential preventative effects of co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on migraines.
- After reviewing five studies with a total of 346 patients, results showed that CoQ10 significantly reduced the number of migraine days per month and the duration of migraines compared to a placebo.
- Though CoQ10 was not significantly different from placebo in terms of attack frequency and severity, the findings suggest it could be a beneficial supplement for reducing migraine symptoms, warranting further research.
Interleukin-18(IL-18) plays a potential pathological role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The conclusions of the published reports on the relationship between single-nucleotide polymorphisms -607C/A (rs1946518) and -137G/C (rs187238) located in the IL-18 gene promoter and RA risk remain controversial. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between IL-18 gene promoter (-607A/C and -137C/G) polymorphisms and RA using (1) allele, (2) codominant, (3) dominant, and (4) recessive models.
