sumatriptan and Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgias

sumatriptan has been researched along with Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgias in 6 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.

Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgias: Primary headache disorders that show symptoms caused by the activation of the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE. These autonomic features include redness and tearing of the EYE, nasal congestion or discharge, facial SWEATING and other symptoms. Most subgroups show unilateral cranial PAIN.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Number of Absence Seizures From Week 8 (Baseline) to Week 12

The secondary outcome measure is the change in number of absence seizures from Week 8 (Baseline) to Week 12 (NCT01607073)
Timeframe: Week 8 to Week 12

InterventionAbscence seizures (Number)
Week 8 Baseline165
Week 12 Verapamil 4mg/kg/Day101

Change in Number of General Tonic-clonic Seizures From Week 8 (Baseline) Visit to Week 12 Visit

The primary study endpoint is the change in number of seizures from baseline. Since we only had one participant finish the study, the endpoint was changed to Week 12 visit. Participants were on verapamil for 4 weeks at Week 12. (NCT01607073)
Timeframe: Week 8 (baseline) to Week 12

InterventionGeneral tonic-clonic seizures (Number)
Week 8 Baseline39
Week 12 Verapamil 4mg/kg/Day14

Change in Number of Myoclonic Seizures From Week 8 (Baseline) to Week 12

The secondary outcome is the change in number of myoclonic seizures between baseline Week 8 visit and Week 12 visit. (NCT01607073)
Timeframe: Week 8 (baseline) to Week 12

InterventionMyoclonic seizures (Number)
