Valproate Versus Propranolol in Migraine, a Randomized Controlled Trial
Valproate Versus Propranolol in Migraine, a Randomized Controlled Trial
Investigators aim to compare the effect of valproate versus propranolol in migraine by assessing the absolute reduction in MMD in each group and the percentage of patients who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in the monthly headache days frequency compared to the baseline frequency.
Investigators will enrol 600 migraine patients who are diagnosed according to ICHD3-beta criteria in our study and will use a questionnaire to detect their demographic and clinical features (disease duration, attack frequency, and duration, pain intensity assessed by the visual analogic scale and we have two groups the first group will include 300 patients and will receive 500-1000 mg valproate daily, and the second group will receive propranolol 160 mg per day. Investigators will assess The number of migraine days after three months of treatment and the percentage of patients who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in the monthly headache days frequency compared to the baseline frequency. The safety of lacosamide was evaluated by monitoring and documenting treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) in patients through regular follow-up procedures for three months.
