sumatriptan and Migraine with Aura

sumatriptan has been researched along with Migraine with Aura in 20 studies

Sumatriptan: A serotonin agonist that acts selectively at 5HT1 receptors. It is used in the treatment of MIGRAINE DISORDERS.
sumatriptan : A sulfonamide that consists of N,N-dimethyltryptamine bearing an additional (N-methylsulfamoyl)methyl substituent at position 5. Selective agonist for a vascular 5-HT1 receptor subtype (probably a member of the 5-HT1D family). Used (in the form of its succinate salt) for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.

Migraine with Aura: A subtype of migraine disorder, characterized by recurrent attacks of reversible neurological symptoms (aura) that precede or accompany the headache. Aura may include a combination of sensory disturbances, such as blurred VISION; HALLUCINATIONS; VERTIGO; NUMBNESS; and difficulty in concentrating and speaking. Aura is usually followed by features of the COMMON MIGRAINE, such as PHOTOPHOBIA; PHONOPHOBIA; and NAUSEA. (International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd ed. Cephalalgia 2004: suppl 1)

" From November 2001 to March 2002, patients meeting International Headache Society criteria for migraine (with > or =2 of the following: unilateral location, pulsating quality, moderate or severe intensity, aggravation by moderate physical activity; and > or =1 of: phonophobia and phonophobia, nausea and/or vomiting) and with no evidence of bacterial rhinosinusitis were enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 ratio via computer-generated randomization schedule to receive either 1 sumatriptan 50-mg tablet or matching placebo tablet."5.12Efficacy of sumatriptan tablets in migraineurs self-described or physician-diagnosed as having sinus headache: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Scores From Completeness of Response Survey (CORS)

"CORS scores for Pain (0-4), Associated Symptoms (0-4), Limbic/Affective Symptoms (0-5), and Speed of Return to Functionality (1-5), represent outcome measures that are relevant to patients. Higher scores represent better treatment efficacy.~The analysis compares CORS scores for usual triptan (pre-study) versus (vs.) Treximet (study medication)." (NCT00893737)

Percent of Participants Reporting Treximet Provides Therapeutic Advantage Over Usual Pre-study Triptan

CORS completed at Visit 1 regarding participant pre-study triptan and at Visit 2 regarding Treximet taken in study. Areas of therapeutic advantage evaluated: How often does 1 dose completely relieve (1) headache pain (2) neck/shoulder pain (3) nausea (4) light sensitivity (5) sound sensitivity (6) irritability. How quickly can/do you (1) concentrate or think clearly (2) resume normal activities (3) function normally (4) feel completely normal. How confident are you that (1) one dose will completely relieve migraine within 2 hours (2) once relieved, migraine will not return within 24 hours. (NCT00893737)
