Migraine and gut microbiota

Migraine attacks are considered as neurological disease. In addition to genetic and environmental factors, gut microbiota may be involved in the onset of these attacks. Recent studies have shown that dysbiosis of gut microbiota can affect the release of neurotransmitters and inflammatory mediators. This dysbiosis could therefore increase the risk of migraine.  

In this study, researchers assessed the link between gut microbiota and migraine using a Mendelian randomization approach.
