Protocol summary

Study aim
Effect of zinc gluconate supplementation on serum hs-CRP, lipid profile, frequency of migraine attacks and its severity and duration in adult women
Design
A parallel double-blind randomized clinical trial (both patients and researchers). Randomization was performed using computer-generated random numbers.
Settings and conduct
Sample size and population: 60 women with migraine headache were selected and referred to the neurology clinic of Imam Khomeini Medical Center affiliated to Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 18-55 years old, female, resident of Urmia, having episodic or chronic migraines, interested in participating in the exclusion criteria: using any supplement in the last 3 months, pregnancy, lactation, smoking 2 years history of head and neck surgery, history of vasculitis, malignancies, AIDS, history of diabetes and stroke, cardiovascular disease, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, liver and kidney failure, kidney stones, lipid profile lowering drugs, medication use Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, history of mental disorders, hypertension, gastrointestinal diseases, lupus
Intervention groups
Patients were divided into two groups to receive 15 mg zinc gluconate (intervention group: n = 30) and placebo (control group: n = 30). Fasting blood samples were taken at baseline and 12 weeks after the intervention to determine serum zinc, lipid profile and hs-CRP. Intervention time: 12 weeks
Main outcome variables
Frequency, severity and duration of migraine attacks (primary outcome) Serum levels of zinc, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL and hs-CRP (secondary outcome)
