How it works
Melatonin regulates circadian rhythms and may reduce cortical excitability. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Particularly relevant when migraines are associated with disrupted sleep-wake cycles.
Evidence is low certainty. Not recommended for long-term use without medical supervision. May cause daytime drowsiness. Take 30–60 minutes before sleep. Not established for paediatric migraine without specialist guidance.
Availability
Available at pharmacies and health food stores without prescription. The form of supplement matters — check the remedy description for the recommended form.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
