There are different ways to get the magnesium.
Food is one. Some foods are high in magnesium...beans, Edamame beans, almonds, yogurt.
One can soak in epsom salts, but that gives local relief.
There are also studies of migraine which showed normal serum levels (not very reliable) who when given extra magnesium showed improvement in migraine frequency. So the study you saw on MS patients echos that.
I have a magnesium thread here:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread1138.html
There are creams also... Kirkman makes one.
Target 1/2 the RDA to start. (assuming you eat some in your diet). That would be 200mg elemental orally daily, of a chelate.
The thread explains "elemental".
People low in magnesium may be low in Vit D also. So it would be a good idea to get Vit D3 testing as well.
Avoid products with magnesium OXIDE in them... this is not absorbed and acts like a laxative.
