Testing cocoa extract to help prevent migraines

This is a pilot study testing cocoa extract as a potential migraine prevention tool. Researchers want to see if people with episodic migraines will take cocoa extract supplements daily and whether different doses are acceptable and tolerable. The study will compare a higher dose, a lower dose, and a placebo (inactive pill) to understand how well this treatment works for migraine sufferers.

Migraines affect millions of people and many are looking for effective prevention strategies beyond current medications. This medication may offer a natural supplement option, but researchers first need to confirm that people can stick with it and that it's safe before testing whether it actually reduces migraine frequency.
