Dietary factors, including chocolate, caffeine, and cheese, are frequently reported as migraine triggers; however, their prevalence and contribution to migraine attacks remain inconsistent across studies. This systematic review and meta\u2010analysis aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of chocolate, caffeine, and cheese as patient\u2010reported migraine triggers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This systematic review and meta\u2010analysis was conducted in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and reported following the PRISMA 2020 Statement and MOOSE guidelines. A systematic search of PubMed, MEDLINE (via Ovid), Ovid, and Scopus was conducted from database inception to November 11, 2024. Observational studies reporting quantitative data on chocolate, caffeine, or cheese as migraine triggers were included.

Given the substantial heterogeneity and reliance on observational, self\u2010reported data, routine avoidance of these foods cannot be universally recommended. Instead, individualized trigger identification, supported by headache diaries, should guide dietary management. Further well\u2010designed prospective studies are needed to clarify causal relationships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/jnme\/4693275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,27]],"date-time":"2026-08-27T06:20:11Z","timestamp":1787811611000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assessment of Chocolate, Cheese, and Caffeine as Migraine Triggers: A Systematic Review and Meta\u2010Analysis of Patient\u2010Reported Trigger Rates"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0507-5203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hayat","family":"Alzahrani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21275\/sr22703111804"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","volume-title":"StatPearls [Internet]","author":"Pescador Ruschel M.
