Detailed Description:

The objective of this prospective, single-blind, randomized and comparative multi-center study is to investigate the adequacy of topiramate therapy in prevention of migraine and to compare standard titration therapy to slow titration therapy and slow titration therapy boosted by the concurrent use of propranolol. The secondary objectives of this clinical study are to examine the change in patient quality of life as measured by the migraine disability assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire and to assess the incidence of adverse events, drug compliance and drug safety. Standard therapy of topiramate 50mg/d will be used as an initial target dose and increased by 25 mg/d in 1-week to a maximum maintenance dose of 100mg/d. Slow therapy of topiramate 50mg/d will be used as an initial target dose and increased by 25 mg/d in 2-weeks to a maximum maintenance dose of 100mg/d. Slow titration therapy boosted by the concurrent use of propranolol ( propranolol 80mg/d as an initial booster for 6 weeks and topiramate 50mg/d as an initial target dose, increased by 25 mg/d in 2-weeks to a maximum maintenance dose of 100mg/d) will also be evaluated. Standard therapy: topiramate 50mg/d as an initial target dose, increased by 25 mg/d in 1-week to a maximum maintenance dose of 100mg/d. Slow therapy: topiramate 50mg/d as an initial target dose, increased by 25 mg/d in 2-weeks to a maximum maintenance dose of 100mg/d. Slow titration therapy and propranolol group: propranolol 80mg/d as an initial booster for 6 weeks and topiramate 50mg/d as an initial target dose, increased by 25 mg/d in 2-weeks to a maximum maintenance dose of 100mg/d.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 65 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The migraine patients who needs the preventive treatment and satisfy all of the following criteria can take part in this study:

Patients who agree to take part in this study

  • Patients who have 3-14 episodes of migraine a month
  • Patients whose duration of migration is at least six months
  • Patients who can read and understand the MIDAS questionnaire
  • Female who is using an appropriate contraception method or have negative pregnancy test results

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study: Patients whose headache attacks at baseline or during the study period are assumed to be caused by a drug withdrawal syndrome
  • Patients whose migraine has appeared first at over 50 years of age
  • Patients who have taken anticonvulsants (valproic acid, gabapentin), beta adrenergic blockers (propranolol) and calcium antagonists (sibelium, verapamil, diltiazem) within the last eight weeks (drugs for blood pressure control with little relation to migraine including calcium channel blockers [e.g. amlodipine] are allowed)
