Nutraceutics are the most used non-pharmacological remedies for migraine's prophylaxis in children and adolescents. Doctors interested in use of nutraceuticals for a complete treatment of children's headache should be adequately informed on this treatments' efficacy and safety. Actually there is a lack of official guidelines about use of nutraceuticals in migraine's prevention in children and adolescent and there are few studies with limited efficacy evidences. The most used nutraceuticals for adolescent's and children's headache prophylaxis are: magnesium, coenzyme Q10, riboflavin, butterbur, feverfew and melatonin. Further Randomised Controlled Trials are needed for a better effectiveness evaluation in nutraceuticals' use for migraine treatment in child and adolescent.
营养疗法是儿童和青少年偏头痛预防中最常用的非药物疗法。对使用营养疗法全面治疗儿童头痛感兴趣的医生应充分了解这种疗法的疗效和安全性。实际上，目前缺乏关于营养疗法在儿童和青少年偏头痛预防中应用的官方指南，且仅有少数研究，其疗效证据有限。用于青少年和儿童头痛预防的最常用营养疗法有：镁、辅酶Q10、核黄素、小白菊、菊叶香藜和褪黑素。需要进一步进行随机对照试验，以便更好地评估营养疗法在儿童和青少年偏头痛治疗中的有效性。
