Migraine Therapy through Circadian Rhythms

Circadian rhythms are essential to maintain normal neurological function and health, regulating the expression of approximately 50 % of all protein coding genes in mammals. Lighting is a critical regulator of circadian rhythms, and disruptions in light–dark exposure—such as irregular working hours, dim light at night, or excessive screen use—can heighten migraine susceptibility by disturbing natural biological timing. Maintaining stable lighting patterns is therefore positioned as a core element of circadian hygiene, helping stabilize sleep, reduce attack triggers, and support neurological health. Aligning therapeutic strategies with an individual’s circadian profile may enhance treatment effectiveness, but emphasizes that aberrant lighting remains a potent environmental factor capable of destabilizing both circadian regulation and migraine outcomes.    LEARN MORE
