Diet transiently improves migraine in two twin sisters: possible role of ketogenesis?

We report the case of a pair of twin sisters, whose high-frequency migraine improved during a ketogenic diet they followed in order to lose weight. The observed time-lock between ketogenesis and migraine improvement provides some insight into how ketones act to improve migraine. PMID: 24598400 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
