Gabapentin is not a first-line drug for treating migraine, so your provider won’t prescribe it to you unless you’ve tried other preventive medications like antidepressants, beta-blockers, and/or migraine-specific preventative drugs that block calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), including Aimovig, Ajovy, Vyepti, Nurtec, Qulipta, and Also, gabapentin reduced the headache frequency by 50% or greater in 45% patients compared with only 16% patients on placebo. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study 10 of gabapentin enacarbil for migraine prophylaxis concluded that gabapentin was not significantly superior to placebo for migraine prophylaxis. Gabapentin in the prophylaxis of chronic daily headache: a randomized, placebo-controlled study. Neurology. Anticonvulsants in migraine prophylaxis: a Cochrane review. Cephalalgia. 2008;28(6 Gabapentin Gabapentin’s mode of action in migraine is unclear (66). It interacts with the α 2δ-subunit of the calcium channel and increases the concentration and probably the syn-thesis of brain γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Gabapentin binds to gabapentin-binding protein—a novel, membrane-associated protein in the outer layers of the Does gabapentin (Neurontin) help prevent episodic migraine? Evidence-Based Answer Gabapentin does not decrease the frequency of migraine headaches and is not recommended for prophylactic therapy. Medications such as amitriptyline, venlafaxine, atenolol, and nadolol are probably effective but should be second-line therapy. There is limited evidence for nebivolol, bisoprolol, pindolol, The pooled evidence derived from trials of gabapentin suggests that it is not efficacious for the prophylaxis of episodic migraine in adults. Since adverse events were common among the gabapentin-treated patients, it is advocated that gabapentin should not be used in routine clinical practice. In 2022, a trial (Head-to-Head Study of Erenumab Against Topiramate in Patients with Episodic and Chronic Migraine [HERMES]) comparing erenumab and topiramate for the prevention of migraine was published. 38 The HER-MES study was a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted in adults (n = 777); most patients had Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant used off-label to help prevent migraine attacks. Learn about why it’s used and how it works. There is a wide array of options for migraine prophylaxis; many of the available drugs are clearly proven to be effective and yet are underused in Australia. “New” drugs which are gaining favour for migraine prophylaxis include topiramate, candesartan, gabapentin and botulinum toxin. The recommendations on what information and self-care advice should be given to people with migraine are based on clinical guidelines National headache management system for adults [], Headaches in over 12s: diagnosis and management [], Primary care management of headache in adults [Becker, 2015] and Pharmacological management of migraine [], the American Headache Society updated consensus Objective.—To compare gabapentin with placebo for use as a prophylactic agent in patients with migraine (with or without aura). Study Design and Treatment.—After screening, a 4-week, single-blind, placebo baseline period was followed by a 12-week, double-blind, treatment period. Objective: The objective of this article is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gabapentin enacarbil (GEn) for migraine prophylaxis. Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study, patients with International Headache Society-defined migraine who met criteria suggesting the need for prophylactic therapy were randomized 2:1:2:2:1 to one of the following five groups There is a wide array of options for migraine prophylaxis; many of the available drugs are clearly proven to be effective and yet are underused in Australia. “New” drugs which are gaining favour for migraine prophylaxis include topiramate, candesartan, gabapentin and botulinum toxin. Gabapentin shows to have an effective therapeutic action in the prophylactic treatment of migraine. Our observations indicate that gabapentin is well tolerated by patients and that reduces headache frequency and use of symptomatic drugs in both groups. To describe and assess the evidence from controlled trials on the efficacy and tolerability of gabapentin/gabapentin enacarbil or pregabalin for preventing migraine attacks in adult patients with episodic migraine. The effect of gabapentin to increase GABA concentrations in the brain may provide a possible explanation for its mechanism of action in migraine prophylaxis. Increases in GABA may suppress the abnormal cortical activities that underlie migraine aura and reduce central neuronal hyperexcitability. Gabapentin is an effective prophylactic agent for patients with migraine. In addition, gabapentin appears generally well tolerated with mild to moderate somnolence and dizziness. Gabapentin has little efficacy for migraine prevention. The recommended dose is from 1200 to 2400 mg per day. Common side effects include somnolence and dizziness. We found moderate certainty evidence that beta-blockers, valproate, and amitriptyline increase the proportion of patients who experience a 50% or more reduction in monthly migraine days, and low certainty evidence that gabapentin may not be different from placebo.
