Abstract
Migraine is a disabling neurovascular disease with unilateral or bilateral pulsatile headache, which intensively affects human health and quality of life due to high morbidity worldwide. Migraine is commonly accompanied by abnormal pain sensitization, neuroinflammatory response, and vasomotor dysfunction. Owing to the management dilemmas of migraine, there is an urgent need to develop effective and low-cost therapies. In recent years, herbal medicines as a promising strategy with analgesic activity and minor side effect, have been proposed for the prevention and treatment of migraine. Considering the lack of a review integrating experimental studies regarding the herbal treatment of migraine, this review systematically summarizes the important potential applications of herbal medicines in ameliorating migraine via multiple therapeutic targets and pathways, as well as provides a reference for further development of novel antimigraine drugs. Many herbs and herbal formulas are effective for migraine sufferers, both as acute treatment and for prevention, particularly when coupled with the identification and elimination of migraine triggers. The natural products discussed here include Zingiber officinale (ginger) for migraine treatment and Cannabis sativa (cannabis), intranasal Capsicum annuum (cayenne), and Lavandula stoechas (Spanish lavender) volatile oil for treatment and prevention. The many agents discussed for migraine prevention primarily include Petasites hybridus (butterbur) root, Curcuma longa (turmeric)1fish oil, Citrus medica (citron) fruit, Tanacetum parthenium (feverfew), Tanacetum parthenium (feverfew)1Salix alba (white willow), Ginkgo biloba (ginkgo), and Lippia alba (bushy matgrass), though the latter three have little published evidence of efficacy. The Chinese herbal formulas Zhèng Tiān Wán (Rectify Heaven Pill) and Wú Zhū Yú Tāng (Evodia Decoction, goshuyutō) have fairly strong evidence supporting their efficacy for migraine prophylaxis. Dosing and safety information are provided for all herbs discussed.
