It doesn't help. 
But there might be other reasons for a doc to prescribe it - I think it's recommended for cluster headaches? - so ask your doc.
Here's a review of studies: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19437225
Lifestyle choices, dietary nutritional measures (antioxidant as vitamin C, vitamin E, lycopene, selenium, zinc, magnesium and the mitochondrial antioxidants nicotine, coenzyme Q(10) and melatonin; and other dietary nutritional measures as low dietary salt, omega 3 fatty acids, folic acid, garlic, nutritional advice, protein and energy supplementation, isocaloric balanced protein and protein and energy restriction for obese women) and others drugs; have not shown benefits or there is insufficient evidence to recommend clinical use.
Supplemental magnesium oxide is also linked to breastfeeding difficulty: http://www.preeclampsia.org/forum/viewt ... 28&t=21213

Thanks Caryn! That's pretty much what I found out researching. Just grasping for straws.
