Abstract

Migraine is a neurovascular disorder with complex pathophysiology. The ketogenic diet (KD) it is well recognized to treat epilepsy drug-resistant as well as other neurological disorder including migraine. Our previous study showed that six weeks of biphasic KD influences circulating microRNAs (miRs) linked to energy metabolism (Cannataro R., Perri M. et al. MicroRNA (2019) 8: 1). At the end of the study, six female obese patients self-reported to had a better outcome of pain-migraine and migraine attack. Therefore, we analyzed miRs associated with pain-migraine.
