Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects and safety of magnesium valproate in the treatment of migraine.
Methods:Eighty-one patients with migraine(including miss follow-up 6 cases) were randomly divided into the flunarizine group(37 cases treated with flunarizine) and magnesium valprote group(38 cases treated with magnesium).Compared with before treatment, the frequency of headache attack and severity of headache in two groups after 3 months of treatment were analyzed.
Results:Compared with before treatment, the frequency of headache attack in two groups decreased significantly(
P<0.01), and the difference of which between two groups was not statistically significant after treatment(
P>0.05).Compared with before treatment, the scores of headache severity in two groups decreased significantly(
P<0.01), and the difference of which between two groups was statistically significant after treatment(
P>0.05).The incidences of adverse reactions in flunarizine group and magnesium valprote group were 18.92% and 23.68%, respectively, the difference of which was not statistically significant(
P>0.05).
Conclusions:Magnesium valproate treating migraine is secure and effective.
