How it works

Parthenolide inhibits platelet aggregation, prostaglandin synthesis, and serotonin release from platelets β€” all relevant to migraine pathophysiology.

Discontinue 2 weeks before surgery. Can cause mouth ulcers in some users. Not for pregnancy. Do not stop suddenly β€” taper off to avoid rebound.

Why moderate evidence

Cochrane review found feverfew more effective than placebo for migraine prevention in most included RCTs, though effect sizes are modest and study quality varies.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
