Sponsor's own description
Ketogenesis is a physiologic phenomenon due to starvation or ketogenic diet (KD), a drastic restricted carbohydrate dietary regimen that induces lipid metabolism and ketone body (KB) synthesis. We followed, in a dietician clinical setting, a group of migraineurs who randomly received a one-month prescription of experimental diet, followed by a one-month of carbohydrate progressive reintroduction, then another one-month of experimental diet, followed by a one-month of carbohydrate progressive reintroduction. Experimental diets are a very-low calorie KD, or an isocaloric non-ketogenic diet. Aim of our study is verify if during ketogenesis migraine improves.
