Randomized controlled trial of pre-operative oral dexamethasone vs placebo for the improvement of quality of recovery from surgery. The study population is limited to breast surgery patients. The investigators will also look at the effect of our intervention on post operative nausea and vomiting. Patients will be recruited before the date of their surgery and will complete the Quality of Recovery-40 (QOR-40) questionnaire before their surgery and at 24 hours post op. They will also complete a Clinically significant nausea and vomiting score upon discharge from the post anesthesia recovery room, repeated at 24 hours post op.

RATIONALE: The prevalence of migraine is higher in patients with various intestinal diseases. An explanation could be that migraine is caused by a 'leaky gut': an increased intestinal permeability that allows food particles to pass the gastrointestinal wall. Probiotics may be able to improve intestinal barrier function. OBJECTIVE: To test whether probiotics, as adjuvant therapy, can reduce incidence and severity of migraine attacks by reducing intestinal permeability. STUDY DESIGN: 12-week placebo-controlled randomized double-blind intervention with selected probiotics. STUDY POPULATION: Adults who experience at least 4 migraine attacks per month. INTERVENTION: Subjects will receive either one daily dose of 2 g of Ecologic® Barrier or 2 grams of the placebo, containing only the carrier material (both provided by Winclove Probiotics). MAIN STUDY PARAMETERS/ENDPOINTS: Incidence and severity of migraine attacks, measured by diaries and validated headache questionnaires will be measured at baseline and after 4, 8, and 12 weeks of probiotic/placebo administration. Secondary, intestinal permeability will be measured by the lactulose/mannitol absorption test in urine (screening, baseline and 12 weeks) and by fecal zonulin (baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks). Inflammation will be assessed from blood C-reactive protein and cytokine concentrations (baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks). Fecal samples will also be used for microbial analysis.
