  • Title: Treatment of acute migraine with sumatriptan--response in 40 consecutive patients.
    Author: Blumenthal HJ, Weisz MA, Burk S.
    Journal: J Okla State Med Assoc; 1996 Jan; 89(1):7-10. PubMed ID: 8720550.
    Abstract:
    Forty consecutive headache patients self-administered sumatriptan for migraine, diagnosed by the criteria of the International Headache Society (IHS). Eighty percent reported excellent response. Thirty-three percent had recurrence of headache within four to twelve hours, while 67% had no recurrence. Fifty-five percent of the patients reported mild side effects, but only 8% stopped therapy because of adverse reactions. No serious cardiovascular events occurred. Recommendations for safe use of sumatriptan are suggested.
