Melatonin Compared to Other Treatments for Episodic Migraine: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis

This systematic review and network meta-analysis found no substantial support for the efficacy of melatonin treatment in patients with episodic migraine, challenging the assumption of their correlation. Although the results showed no significant association between the disease and melatonin administration, more research is necessary to explore the influence of melatonin in migraine's pathophysiology and further potential indirect mechanisms by which melatonin usage could benefit those who have not responded to conventional therapies.

Abstract

This systematic review and network meta-analysis found no substantial support for the efficacy of melatonin treatment in patients with episodic migraine, challenging the assumption of their correlation. Although the results showed no significant association between the disease and melatonin administration, more research is necessary to explore the influence of melatonin in migraine's pathophysiology and further potential indirect mechanisms by which melatonin usage could benefit those who have not responded to conventional therapies.
