Abstract

In this multicentric random double-blind study versus placebo, the therapeutic activity of timed-release dihydroergotamine preparation 10 mg/per os/day has been tested in 90 patients affected by common migraine. The drug presented a prophylactic effect on recurrent headache, mainly on night and awakening migraine. A low incidence of side-effects with no weight changes or other effects on physiologic events was registered. Les résultas obtenus dans cette étude contrôlée, en double aveugle, sur une serie de 90 malades porteurs de ‘migraine commune’, montre que la dihydroergotamine retard est active. Cette substance sembre réellment prévenir les crises du réveil et de la nuit. La tolérance clinique a été exellente. In questo studio multicentrico in doppio cieco randomizzato versus placebo è stata valutata l'attività terapeutica di una diidroergotamina a liberazione programmata (10 mg/per os/die) in 90 pazienti affetti da emicranie comune. Il farmaco ha dimostrato di possedere un effetto sulle cefalee ricorrenti e soprattutto sulla emicrania notturna e del risveglio. Sono state registrate una bassa incidenza di effetti collaterali e nessuna variazione del peso corporeo e di altri parametri fisiologici.
