While there are several trials that support the efficacy of various drugs for migraine prophylaxis against placebo, there is limited evidence addressing the comparative safety and efficacy of these drugs. We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis to facilitate comparison between drugs for migraine prophylaxis. My evaluation of the marketing materials points to a pattern of suppressing the results of negative randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials. At the same time, lower level, uncontrolled data were used to promote the off-label use of gabapentin for migraine prophylaxis, and generate interest in conducting new double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials, which Parke-Davis Objective.—To compare gabapentin with placebo for use as a prophylactic agent in patients with migraine (with or without aura). Study Design and Treatment.—After screening, a 4-week, single-blind, pl Gabapentin is a drug that’s approved to help prevent seizures in people with epilepsy and treat nerve pain from shingles. It’s also sometimes used off-label for migraine prevention. What is the general approach to migraine prevention? The goal of preventive treatment for migraine is to reduce the frequency, severity, duration and disability of attacks, and improve response to and minimize use of acute medications. Gabapentin (Neurontin) for prophylactic treatment of migraines and headaches, how it works, dosage, review of clinical trials on the effectiveness of gabapentin. Studies were required to be prospective, controlled trials of gabapentin/gabapentin enacarbil or pregabalin taken regularly to prevent the occurrence of migraine attacks, to improve migraine-related quality of life, or both. Two review authors independently selected studies and extracted data. Migraine Prophylaxis in Children Propranolol is commonly prescribed for migraine preventive treatment in children, although studies have shown conflicting results. Gabapentin Gabapentin’s mode of action in migraine is unclear (66). It interacts with the α2δ-subunit of the calcium channel and increases the concentration and probably the syn-thesis of brain γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA). Studies were required to be prospective, controlled trials of gabapentin/gabapentin enacarbil or pregabalin taken regularly to prevent the occurrence of migraine attacks, to improve migraine-related quality of life, or both. Two review authors independently selected studies and extracted data. Objective: Gabapentin is an antiepileptic drug of new generation that increases brain GABA levels. We report the results of a three-month randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study on the effects of gabapentin in the prophylaxis of patients with migraine meeting the IHS criteria. Patients and Methods. We treated 63 patients suffering from migraine with or without aura. Patients treated Types of interventions Included studies were required to have at least one arm in which gabapentin or pregabalin (without concomitant use of other migraine prophylactic treatment) was given regularly during headache‐free intervals with the aim of preventing the occurrence of migraine attacks, improving migraine‐related quality of life, or both. Gabapentin is an effective prophylactic agent for patients with migraine. In addition, gabapentin appears generally well tolerated with mild to moderate somnolence and dizziness. Gabapentin does not decrease the frequency of migraine headaches and is not recommended for prophylactic therapy. Migraine headaches are a debilitating condition that affects approximately 1% of the US population. Goals of migraine prophylaxis include reduction in headache severity and frequency, improved Discover the potential of gabapentin for preventing migraine attacks and headaches. While not a first-line treatment, it can be effective in combination with other options. Our observations indicate that gabapentin is well tolerated by patients and that reduces headache frequency and use of symptomatic drugs in both groups. Gabapentin shows to have an effective therapeutic action in the prophylactic treatment of migraine. Calcitonin gene-related peptide inhibitors. Do NOT offer gabapentin for migraine prophylaxis. Consider non-pharmacological therapies as an adjunct or alternative to pharmacological therapy depending on the specific clinical situation and the person’s preference, including: Objective.—To compare gabapentin with placebo for use as a prophylactic agent in patients with migraine (with or without aura). Identifying and avoiding trigger factors can reduce the frequency of migraine attacks by up to 50%. Migraine recurring four or more times per month should be treated prophylactically (1). This is because prophylactic agents only have limited success and risk chronic side effects. Also, 5HT1 agonists can more effectively deal with many attacks than previous acute treatments. NICE suggests that
