When taken at the first signs of a migraine, before headache pain begins, a drug called ubrogepant may be effective in helping people with migraine go about their daily lives with little or no symptoms, according to a new study.
The study focused on people with migraine who could tell when an attack was about to happen, due to early symptoms such as sensitivity to light and sound, fatigue, neck pain or stiffness, or dizziness.
"Migraine is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, yet so many people who suffer from this condition do not receive treatment or report that they are not satisfied with their treatment," said study author Richard B. Lipton, MD, of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York, and Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology."Improving care at the first signs of migraine, even before headache pain begins, can be a key to improved outcomes.
Participants evaluated limitations on their activity in their diary using a scale ranging from zero to five, with 0 meaning"not at all limited -- I could do everything"; 1,"a little limited"; 2,"somewhat limited"; 3,"very limited"; or 4,"extremely limited." "Based on our findings, treatment with ubrogepant may allow people with migraine who experience early warning signs before a migraine occurs to quickly treat migraine attacks in their earliest stages and go about their daily lives with little discomfort and disruption," said Lipton."This could lead to an improved quality of life for those living with migraine."
