A team of Harvard University scientists have studied the effects of coffee consumption on patients suffering from migraines in order to determine whether caffeine played a role in the triggering of headaches. Their study showed that the risk rises with three or more cups of coffee a day.
According to the World Health Organization,"Half to three quarters of adults aged 18-65 years in the world have had headache in the last year and, among those individuals, 30% or more have reported migraine." Researchers at Harvard University have conducted a study on 98 adults with episodic migraine in order to determine whether their coffee habit could translate into a trigger for migraines.
The patients also provided detailed information on other common migraine triggers: medications, alcoholic drinks, level of physical activity, symptoms of depression, psychological stress, sleep habits, menstrual cycles, etc.
