RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Controlled study of exclusion of dietary vasoactive amines in migraine. JF Archives of Disease in Childhood JO Arch Dis Child FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health SP 458 OP 460 DO 10.1136/adc.62.5.458 VO 62 IS 5 A1 S A Salfield A1 B L Wardley A1 W T Houlsby A1 S L Turner A1 A P Spalton A1 N R Beckles-Wilson A1 S M Herber YR 1987 UL http://adc.bmj.com/content/62/5/458.abstract AB To assess the effects of dietary vasoactive amines in the aetiology of childhood migraine, 39 children were randomly allocated to either a high fibre diet low in these substances or a high fibre diet alone. Both groups of children showed a significant decrease in the number of headaches and there was no significant difference between the two groups. Dietary vasoactive amines have not been shown in this study to influence childhood migraine. The improvement seen in both groups emphasises the need for a control diet in studies designed to show that dietary manipulation improves disease.
