Treatment for Visual Snow Syndrome

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) acts as a precursor to flavin cofactors FAD and FMN, which are essential for mitochondrial energy metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. In Visual Snow Syndrome, riboflavin potentially modulates neuronal hyperexcitability and improves mitochondrial function, thereby potentially reducing aberrant cortical processing and alleviating visual disturbances.
