Given the significant unmet need for improved therapies that address migraine disorders and concurrent irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), this study seeks to investigate the impact of probiotics on the sequelae of symptoms associated with both migraine and IBS.
The prevalence of migraine is higher in female patients with various intestinal diseases. An explanation could be that migraine is caused by a leaky gut, defined by increased intestinal permeability that permits particles to pass through the gastrointestinal wall. Probiotics, may be able to improve intestinal barrier function.~OBJECTIVE: To test whether probiotics, as adjucnt therapy, can reduce incidence and severity of migraine attacks by reducing intestinal permeability.
