Abstract
Compare migraine duration with frovatriptan (versus baseline) in migraineurs reporting long- (24-72 h) or short-duration (<24 h) migraines at baseline. Post hoc analysis of two postmarketing surveillance studies of migraineurs in German primary care clinics using frovatriptan (2.5 mg) to treat a single migraine attack. Using case-report forms, physicians recorded migraine characteristics at baseline (aura, duration, frequency, severity) and with frovatriptan (duration, severity, and recurrence). Patients and physicians rated frovatriptan effectiveness and tolerability versus previous therapy; physicians recorded adverse reactions. The primary analysis was change in migraine duration with frovatriptan versus baseline. At baseline, 44.2% (7178/16 253) and 55.8% (9075/16 253) of patients reported short- and long-duration migraines, respectively; long-duration migraines were more often frequent (> or =3/months; 55.5% [4893/8811] vs. 30.6% [2132/6973]; p < 0.001; 95% CI, 23.5-26.5%), severe (61.7% [5584/9047] vs. 33.9% [2427/7156]; p < 0.001; 95% CI, 26.3-29.3%), and accompanied by aura (46.8% [4199/8977] vs. 31.3% [2215/7088]; p < 0.001; 95% CI, 14.0-17.0%). Mean (SD) onset of frovatriptan effect was <1 h; 72.3% (11 592/16 040) of ...Continue Reading
