Migraines are increasingly common, affecting more than 11% of the population. Medications used to address this chronic issue and its acute episodes are often accompanied by unpleasant symptoms. While magnesium therapy has been studied previously, the results have been conflicting. This study aims to clarify the overall efficacy of magnesium’s effects on reducing migraines.

Gulf War Illness is a chronic condition that affects nearly 25% of the 70,000 veterans of the first Gulf War. This multi-symptom disorder often includes other comorbid medical diagnoses such as chronic fatigue, IBS, PTSD and more. Despite the number of people affected, to date there has been no standard of treatment. This study examines acupuncture as a potential treatment for this condition.

As we age we experience a decrease in both muscle mass and muscle power, eventually leading to falls, loss of independence and more. Exercise is thought to be one way to make improvements, but only resistance training has been previously studied. This trial aims to understand if low frequency, high-intensity training (HIT) helps to improve muscle power in lifelong, sedentary, aging men.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by an immune response that triggers the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines, causing joint destruction and erosion. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant which has been studied and shown to protect against inflammation related to coronary artery disease, diabetes, and more. This is the first study to examine whether the benefits of CoQ10 extent to RA.

Benefits of CoQ10 For Rheumatoid Arthritis

Tea derived from the plant Camellia Sinesis can be classified as green tea, oolong tea, or black tea, depending on its level of fermentation. Green tea has been shown to reduce cholesterol and fasting blood glucose levels in the general population. Additionally, small trials suggest there may be specific benefits to the diabetic population. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of tea or its extracts on the metabolic profile of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Inflammation can contribute to chronic disease, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. With these diseases being monitored by many biomarkers of inflammation, one overall approach to reducing the risk of inflammation and associated chronic disease is to consume foods rich in anti-inflammatory, flavonoid rich compounds. Cocoa is an example of one of these flavonoid rich foods.
