Scientists Find How Much Coffee Is Too Much for Migraine Sufferers

People who live with chronic migraines but also love coffee might be in luck.

A new study by Harvard researchers seems to show that it takes a lot of caffeine to actually set off a painful episode.

Caffeine is considered a key ingredient that boosts the effectiveness of over-the-counter painkillers specifically marketed for headache, like Excedrin (the brand-name version of the drug that combines aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine).

And some people swear that a strong dose of coffee alone can alleviate their head pain.

At least one study has also found that when migraine sufferers wean themselves off caffeine completely, they respond better to other treatments.

They asked patients who frequently experienced migraines to keep a diary for six weeks.
