Aspirin can reduce migraine symptom pain, review says

ISLAMABAD : Taking aspirin can reduce the pain of a migraine headache within two hours for over 50 per cent of people, research says.

The results come from a Cochrane Systematic Review using data from 13 studies, BBC reported.

Researchers found that a high dose of aspirin also reduces nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light or sound-other symptoms of a migraine.

But experts stress aspirin can cause side effects and some people will still need to rely on migraine medication.
