Migraine aura refers to transient neurological symptoms that typically occur before or during the headache phase. These often manifest as visual disturbances (flashing lights, blind spots), sensory changes (tingling), or speech difficulties. Lasting 5 to 60 minutes, an aura is caused by a wave of electrical activity in the brain. Supporting your system with evidence-based nutrients can help manage the frequency of these episodes.
- Auras affect roughly 25-30% of migraine sufferers.
- Symptoms are temporary but can be alarming, affecting vision, speech, or sensation.
- The "Cortical Spreading Depression" theory explains the wave-like spread of symptoms.
- NICE guidelines (CG150) recommend specific nutrients for prophylaxis.
The Science Behind the "Visual Storm"
Current research suggests that aura is caused by Cortical Spreading Depression (CSD). This is a slow-moving wave of electrical activity that passes across the visual cortex. While these symptoms are temporary, they indicate that the brain's neurological threshold has been breached. Many users find that consistent use of MigraSoothe + (Riboflavin, Magnesium & CoQ10) helps to stabilise this electrical activity.
🧬 The Mitochondrial Connection
Studies show that individuals with frequent aura may have a "metabolic gap" in their brain's energy production. By supplementing with high-dose Vitamin B2, found in MigraSoothe Original (Riboflavin B2), you can improve mitochondrial efficiency, potentially making the brain less susceptible to triggers.
