Migraine Supplements, Acupuncture, Mind-Body Therapies and More | Dr Fred Cohen

When we talk about ‘medicine’ we normally think of pharmaceutical drugs. However, for a number of reasons, people sometimes seek out natural alternatives for migraine and headache treatment. This is a live webinar recording from Migraine & Headache Awareness Week 2025. It explores common questions about supplements, such as magnesium and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), complementary and alternative treatments, such as acupuncture, and what the research says about their effectiveness in migraine prevention and management.
