Eating chocolate relieves migraine headaches.

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that eating chocolate relieves migraine headaches?

No. A 2020 peer-reviewed review of 25 studies found insufficient evidence that chocolate triggers migraines and no significant difference from placebo in provocation studies, and other sources list chocolate among dietary migraine triggers rather than a remedy. No retrieved source supports chocolate relieving migraines.
