The comparative effectiveness of migraine preventive drugs: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Christian Lampl et al.

Summary: This article conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare the safety and efficacy of different drugs for migraine prophylaxis. The study found that CGRP receptor monoclonal antibodies, gepants, and topiramate have the best efficacy in reducing monthly migraine days. Additionally, there is evidence supporting the efficacy of beta-blockers, valproate, and amitriptyline.

European Headache Federation (EHF) critical re-appraisal and meta-analysis of oral drugs in migraine prevention-part 1: amitriptyline

Christian Lampl et al.

Summary: The objective of this paper is to critically re-evaluate the published trials on amitriptyline for migraine prophylaxis. Through a systematic review methodology, the authors searched various databases for randomized trials comparing amitriptyline with placebo for migraine prophylaxis. They assessed the outcomes of interest using established criteria and evaluated the risk of bias and certainty of evidence. The results indicated that amitriptyline may have a prophylactic role in reducing migraine days, but further research is needed.

Christina I. Deligianni et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of flunarizine as a prophylactic treatment for migraines. Through a systematic search and analysis of relevant literature, it was found that flunarizine may have the potential to reduce the frequency of monthly migraine attacks, but with some risk of adverse events.

Uwe Reuter et al.

Summary: In this study comparing erenumab to topiramate for migraine prophylaxis, erenumab demonstrated a more favorable tolerability and efficacy profile, with fewer patients discontinuing medication due to adverse events and significantly more patients achieving a >= 50% reduction in monthly migraine days.

Summary: Through the evaluation of 48 eligible studies, it was found that nintedanib, pirfenidone, and sildenafil may reduce the mortality of IPF patients; nintedanib, nintedanib+sildenafil, pirfenidone, pamrevlumab, and pentraxin may reduce the decline in lung capacity in IPF patients; sildenafil may reduce the likelihood of acute exacerbation and hospitalizations; while corticosteroids+azathioprine+N-acetylcysteine increased the risk of serious adverse events compared to placebo.

Kirstie Haywood et al.

Summary: This study describes the development of a core outcome set for migraine (COSMIG) through international, multistakeholder consensus, resulting in the identification of two core domains: migraine-specific pain and migraine-specific quality of life. The study used a two-stage approach, including expert panel Delphi studies and a consensus meeting to determine core domains and assessment methods.

CGRP-antibodies, topiramate and botulinum toxin type A in episodic and chronic migraine: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Florian Frank et al.

Summary: The approval of monoclonal antibodies for the prevention of migraine has revolutionized treatment for patients, although oral preventative medications are still considered first-line treatments. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of three commonly prescribed migraine preventative medication classes, finding that topiramate, botulinum toxin type A, and monoclonal antibodies had higher odds ratios in achieving a 50% response rate compared to placebo. Topiramate had the greatest effect size but also the highest drop-out rate among the three.
