fish, artificial sweeteners, nitrate preservatives, MSG, caffeine withdrawal
- Stress – physical, psychological
!!KEEP A HEADACHE DIARY!!
![Page 11: CAM You can Use: Preventing Headaches Kathi J Kemper, MD, MPH General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine 2 nd Opinion Clinic (Monday mornings) kkemper@wfubmc.edu.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649d935503460f94a79eac/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Diet: Avoid Food Allergens
• Clinical trial of 43 patients
• Allergy skin testing
• 69% responded to diet modification(p<0.005)
• People with IgE-specific food allergy benefited more from the elimination diet
than people with negative skin tests.

Diet and Migraine• Regularization of meals• Normalize blood sugar (glycemic index)
• Elimination Diet 1: Caffeine, cheese, nuts, chocolate, shellfish, onions, aspartame, wine, beer, dairy, processed meats
• Elimination Diet 2: Lamb and rice – add back• Reduction in omega-6 fatty acids – red meats, fast
food• Increase in omega-3 fatty acid intake-fish oil

Dietary Supplements
• B vitamins
• Minerals: calcium, magnesium
• Fatty acids/fish oil
• CoQ10
• Melatonin
![Page 14: CAM You can Use: Preventing Headaches Kathi J Kemper, MD, MPH General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine 2 nd Opinion Clinic (Monday mornings) kkemper@wfubmc.edu.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649d935503460f94a79eac/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Supplements: B vitamins• B2
– Migraine sufferers suspected of having a mitochondrial defect -> impaired O2 utilization
– Riboflavin (B2) is the precursor to key molecules in the electron transport chain in the mitochondria
– 200 mg BID with meals for 3 months -> 68% reduction in migraine attacks in RCT (next slide)
– Side effect: yellow urineSchoenen. Neurology, 1998; Sandor. Headache, 2000; Magis. Headache, 2007
• B6 essential in converting tryp to serotonin– More than 100 mg daily -> nausea, abd pain, sleepiness,
lower B12 levels; >1000 mg daily -> sensory neuropathy

Supplements: Minerals
• Calcium for PMS-related migraines– 44% of boys and 58% of girls 6-11 insuff– 64% of boys and 87% of girls 12-19 insuff
• Ensure 1200- 1500 mg dailyThys-Jacobs. J Am Coll Nutr, 2000
• Magnesium (1 gram iv acutely) or 300 – 500 mg daily po to prevent (soy beans, black beans, tofu, seeds, nuts, whole grains, shellfish)

* Magnesium - mechanism• Ionized magnesium levels low in 50% of MHA patients
• Migraines associated with platelet aggregation, serotonin release
• Magnesium reduces platelet aggregation
• Magnesium decreases the affinity of serotonin for vascular receptor sites
• Magnesium acts as an NMDA receptor (glutamate receptor) antagonist
– NMDA receptors & pain transmission
– Inhibits one type of neuronal spreading depression in experimental models
* OPTIONAL SLIDE – for participant reference

* Consequences of Reduced Mg++
• Vasoconstriction of scalp arteries
• Reduced affinity of serotonin receptors
• Lower threshold for activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors
• Enhanced platelet aggregation and serotonin release

* Trials with Mg++ Supplements
• An infusion of 1.0 g of magnesium sulfate in 40 patients with acute migraine
– 52% responded to therapy– 86% of the responders had low serum ionized
Mg++ levels– 16% of the non-responders had low serum
ionized Mg++ levels.

* Trials with Mg++ Supplements• Four trials with oral magnesium
supplementation
• Three of the four showed efficacy
• The one negative trial used a poorly absorbed magnesium salt which resulted
in diarrhea

*Current Use of Mg++ Supplements
• 500 mg/day K+ Mg++ aspartate
• Avoid combining with Fe, Ca, Zn
• May cause temporary diarrhea
• Magnesium gluconate – an alternate
• Menstrual migraine – months to benefit

Why EFA Imbalance in US?
• Diet is high in Omega-6 and low in Omega-3 (previously 1:1 ratio, now 20:1)
• Hydrogenated oils• Enzyme cofactor deficiency (B-3, B-6, Biotin, C, Zinc,
Magnesium)• Genetic polymorphism (biochemical individuality)• Hyperinsulinism from high glycemic load diet
(increase DGLA to AA)• Increased stress -> increased demands.

Melatonin and Headache • Mechanism
– Potentiates GABA; Modulates Ca entry in to vascular smooth muscle cells
– Modulates 5HT2 receptor – like B-blockers; Inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 - inflammation mediator
• Melatonin low and out of phase in menstrual migraine, chronic daily headache, migraine, status and cluster HA
• Effective preventive for cluster HA and HA associated with delayed sleep-phase syndrome

Melatonin: Sleep phase delay or cluster HA
• Corrects delayed sleep-phase syndrome
• An alternative to benzodiazepines • Dosing 6-12 mg one hour before bed• Few side effects• ConsumerLab reviews show consistent

Lifestyle: Stress management
• Stress is common• Stress triggers/worsens pain• Managing stress: exercise,
sleep, nutrition, mind/emotion/body/spirit– Biofeedback– Hypnosis
• Reducing stress helps 50% - 70% of headache sufferers

Biofeedback-What and why?
• Use of electronic equipment to measure and feed back information about physiologic functions—which are then modulated in desirable direction
• Goal-balancing ANS (& CNS) activity• “video-games for your body” kid-friendly• 2007 meta-analysis showed > 50 controlled trials of BF for
HA; EFFECTIVE!• Strong treatment effect that persists for over 12 months

Hypnosis/Guided Imagery
• Hypnosis: An altered state of awareness usually but not always involving relaxation during which the participant can give himself/herself suggestions for desired changes to which he/she is more likely to respond that in their usual state of awareness.
• Guided Imagery: A technique that involves using the imagination and mental images to promote relaxation, changes in attitude or behavior, and encourages physical healing. AKA- visualization.

Children Enjoy It• To teach self hypnosis for a specific purpose (such as
reduction of pain or elimination of a habit) involves helping young children focus on their natural thinking styles.
• Kids move in and out of altered states and imaginary activities all the time. Think IMAGINARY PLAY!
• The child is in control.• We serve as the teacher or coach.• Offer choices and options.• The child can use this skill when he or she chooses.• Ask that parents not remind the child to practice self
hypnosis; it’s up to the child/adolescent

Hypnosis – Prevention
• Meta-analysis – strong evidence of benefits for tension HA (Hammond. Int J Clin Exp Hypnosis, 2007)
• Better than wait-listed controls for migraine prevention (Melis. Headache, 1991)
• Superior to propranolol or placebo in juvenile classic migraine prevention (next slide)

Hypnosis : Headache
• Children 6 to 12 years with classic migraine
• RXT: propanolol vs. placebo for 3 months each
• Then hypnosis training
• Placebo: 13.3 HA/ 3 mos
• Propanolol: 14.9 HA/3 mos
• Hypnosis: 5.8 HA/3 mos (P<0.05)

* Hypnosis Misconceptions• Patient is under control of the
hypnotherapist• Patient is unaware of surroundings
and/or activities around him/her• Patients defenses are impaired (there is
improved access to subconscious material)
• Symptoms are masked• Patient can be forced to do things they
would not normally do

Contraindications to Hypnosis
• Ignoring underlying disorder
• Used for fun or entertainment
• The problem is more effectively treated with another modality
• Patient is psychotic, acutely depressed
• Patient (child) does not want to engage in hypnosis (but parent wants them to)

Mind-Body: Autogenic Training• Form of hypnosis• Repeat phrases
– My hands and arms are heavy and warm– My legs and feet are heavy and warm– My heartbeat is calm and regular– My breathing is easy and free– My forehead is cool– My belly is relaxed
• Reduces need for headache medication • Reduces frequency of migraine attacks

Massage for Migraines
• Massage improves blood flow and decreases inflammation, relaxes muscles, reduces stress, provides tangible social support
• Can combine with physical therapies such as ice, heat; aromas (peppermint)
• RCT for migraines showed significantly decreased frequency and improved sleep

Chiropractic
• Commonly used
• Older studies support use of chiropractic in migraine; frequency and severity
were reduced
• Little other evidence supporting use in headache of different types

*Acupuncture: Mechanism of Action
• The documented effects of acupuncture include:
• 1) Release of opioids in the central nervous system
• 2) Changes in regulation of blood flow, blood pressure, body temperature, and alterations in immune function.
![Page 52: CAM You can Use: Preventing Headaches Kathi J Kemper, MD, MPH General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine 2 nd Opinion Clinic (Monday mornings) kkemper@wfubmc.edu.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649d935503460f94a79eac/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
*Mechanism of Action
• Functional MRI: Single point stimulation– Activation of occipital lobes with lateral foot
VA1 stimulation– Reduction in limbic structure activity with true
acupuncture (pressure sensation) – Activation of somatosensory cortex with sham
point activation or painful response to needling

*Mechanism of Action: Biomedicine
• Release of opioid-like substances into CSF• Substance P, neurokinin A, neuropeptide Y• Serotonergic and dopaminergic systems
activated • Descending pain inhibitory systems
activated• Thalamic relay nuclei inhibition• Dorsal root entry zone inhibition

How: Behavioral Medicine
• Identify the goal• Consider various strategies• Pick a strategy• Identify a small, achievable step that the patient
and family can support• Explore pros and cons of change• Anticipate barriers; identify resources• Plan rewards/celebrations!• Re-evaluate; take the next step
![Page 76: CAM You can Use: Preventing Headaches Kathi J Kemper, MD, MPH General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine 2 nd Opinion Clinic (Monday mornings) kkemper@wfubmc.edu.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649d935503460f94a79eac/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Goal-setting
• Pick a POSITIVE goal– E.g., healthier lifestyle.
![Page 77: CAM You can Use: Preventing Headaches Kathi J Kemper, MD, MPH General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine 2 nd Opinion Clinic (Monday mornings) kkemper@wfubmc.edu.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649d935503460f94a79eac/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Example: Healthier lifestyleTo promote
Better moodBetter focus or concentrationGreater calm More resilienceMore cheerfulness Greater adaptabilityMore confidence More creativeMore clarityBetter memoryMore harmonious relationshipsHigher self esteemMore consistent with personal valuesother?

Pick a specific strategy
• More exercise• Better nutrition• Judicious use of supplements• Better sleep• Healthier environment• Stress management; biofeedback; journal;
meditation• Use medication• Massage, psychotherapy, acupuncture or other
professional help
![Page 79: CAM You can Use: Preventing Headaches Kathi J Kemper, MD, MPH General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine 2 nd Opinion Clinic (Monday mornings) kkemper@wfubmc.edu.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649d935503460f94a79eac/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Identify a small, achievable step
• Rome was not built in a day; habits are not changed overnight: BABY STEPS.
• For exercise, go from sedentary, to 5 minute walks with the dog 5 days a week.
• Be specific (with or without an MP3 player; with or without a friend; regardless of weather?; distance vs. time)
![Page 80: CAM You can Use: Preventing Headaches Kathi J Kemper, MD, MPH General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine 2 nd Opinion Clinic (Monday mornings) kkemper@wfubmc.edu.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649d935503460f94a79eac/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
How important is this to you?
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10Not Very
Why did you pick that number and not a lower number? (e.g. a 7 instead of a 5)
Asking this question helps the patient/family provide their own rationale for why this is important. They talk themselves into it!
![Page 81: CAM You can Use: Preventing Headaches Kathi J Kemper, MD, MPH General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine 2 nd Opinion Clinic (Monday mornings) kkemper@wfubmc.edu.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649d935503460f94a79eac/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
How confident are you that you can do this for one month?
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10Not Very
If they pick an 8 or higher (pretty confident), proceed with next step of making a chart and planning rewards and follow-up.
If they pick a number less than 8, “What would it take for you to go from the number you picked
to a higher number?” Begin to explore their ambivalence…. It’s OK to be ambivalent about change!

Identify Pros and Cons PRO CON
Change More cheerful Change routine
More fit and cool Brother might tease
Clothes fit better Yucky dog clean up
Better sleep
Better self-esteem
No Change Easy Continued mood probs
Mom does yucky job Get fat
Feel ugly
Sleep badly

Identify Barriers and Resources• In addition to (cons listed above), what other barriers
or challenges might you anticipate as you try to make this change? Need new tennis shoes; need leash; need pooper-scooper
• What resources do you have/need to help you make this change? Will Mom commit to getting new shoes, leash, etc. ? Will the child want/need a reminder? Is it helpful for Dad to do that? Do they need a chore chart? A calendar?
![Page 84: CAM You can Use: Preventing Headaches Kathi J Kemper, MD, MPH General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine 2 nd Opinion Clinic (Monday mornings) kkemper@wfubmc.edu.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649d935503460f94a79eac/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Plan celebrations/rewards
• Pick a tangible reward and timing (will it be offered after week 1, 2, 3, 4?)
