Abstract

Migraine is a debilitating neurological disorder affecting 10%-20% of the global population, with significant socioeconomic burdens. Vitamin D deficiency, prevalent in over 1 billion individuals, has been proposed as a modifiable risk factor in migraine management due to its potential role in pain modulation and neuroinflammation. This scoping review aimed to map global vitamin D deficiency prevalence across migraine subtypes and geographic regions, synthesize clinical correlations between vitamin D status and migraine characteristics, and explore heterogeneity in therapeutic evidence across paediatric, chronic, and refractory migraine subgroups.
