It’s a longstanding debate: is coffee beneficial or harmful for migraine pain? Migraines, a type of headache, are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Typically, migraines present as a throbbing pain on one side of the head and can be triggered by hormonal fluctuations, stress, and certain foods. While medications can help manage migraine pain, some people turn to coffee for relief. However, coffee is not an officially recommended treatment for migraines.
Coffee is not a standard treatment option for migraines, and in some cases, it can even trigger them. Occasional caffeine use might provide short-term, modest relief, but daily or near-daily consumption can lead to tolerance, rendering it ineffective for migraine relief.
High levels of adenosine, a naturally occurring brain substance, can trigger migraines. Adenosine affects brain activity, blood vessel dilation, and certain aspects of sleep and movement by binding to specific receptors on brain cells. Caffeine blocks these receptors, preventing adenosine’s effects and providing acute migraine and pain relief for some patients.
For those with chronic migraines, caffeine consumption, including coffee, should be limited to no more than two days per week, if at all.
