简要总结
A pilot trial of triheptanoin, a natural compound able to promote anaplerotic mitochondrial metabolism, for the preventative treatment of migraine.
详细描述
To test the ability of a daily 3-month treatment with triheptanoin to prevent migraine attacks in 10 migraine patients.
This is an open, non-randomized pilot trial that might justify a placebo-controlled trial, if there are at least 50% of patients with ≥50% reduction in attack frequency.
