Various medicines, collectively termed 'antiepileptics', are used to treat epilepsy. For several years, some of these drugs have also been used for preventing migraine attacks. For the present review, researchers in The Cochrane Collaboration reviewed the evidence about the effects of gabapentin and Tension-type, migraine, and cluster headaches are the most common primary headaches. Primary headaches are differentiated by clinical criteria from the International Classification of Headache Gabapentin is used "off-label" for migraine prevention and treatment, including migraines with or without aura, vestibular migraines. It reduces the frequency of headaches, pain intensity, and the use of symptomatic medications 1, 2. If MOH is suspected, then the appropriate management is drug withdrawal — see the CKS topic on Headache - medication overuse for further information. If migraine is of an uncommon type (for example, hemiplegic migraine, or migraine with prolonged aura) — refer or seek expert advice before considering preventative medication. 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 does not decrease the frequency of migraine headaches and is not recommended for prophylactic therapy. Gabapentin (GBP), originally an antiepileptic drug, is more commonly used in the treatment of pain, including headache disorders. Off-label GBP is used in headache disorders with some success, some failure, and much debate. Gabapentin is a drug that’s approved to help prevent seizures in people with epilepsy and treat nerve pain from shingles. It’s also sometimes used off-label for migraine prevention. Abstract Peripheral and central sensitizations are phenomena that occur during migraine. The role of pentin, a migraine preventive drug, on central sensitization remains unclear. In this study, a rat model of migraine was established by electrical stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion, and the an-imals were given intragastric gabapentin. Changes in amino acid content in the cerebrospinal Reviews and ratings for Gabapentin when used in the treatment of migraine. 121 reviews submitted with a 7.8 average score. Included studies were required to have at least one arm in which gabapentin or pregabalin (without concomitant use of other migraine prophylactic treatment) was given regularly during headache‐free intervals with the aim of preventing the occurrence of migraine attacks, improving migraine‐related quality of life, or both. What is Gabapentin, and how does it relate to migraine treatment? Gabapentin is a medication primarily used to treat seizures and nerve pain, but it’s being studied for its potential benefits in managing migraines. Various medicines, collectively termed 'antiepileptics', are used to treat epilepsy. For several years, some of these drugs have also been used for preventing migraine attacks. For the present review, researchers in The Cochrane Collaboration reviewed the evidence about the effects of gabapentin and It’s crucial to analyze gabapentin alongside other treatments available for migraines. Other common pharmacologic treatments include topiramate and amitriptyline. They are frequently used for migraine prevention, and comparing their efficacy and side effects can help patients make informed decisions. Gabapentin is one such drug. It's an anti-seizure drug sometimes used to prevent migraines, though there is conflicting scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness in this regard. In the United States, gabapentin is sold in generic form and under the brand names Neurontin, Gralise, Horizant, and Neuraptine. Migraine headaches are a debilitating condition that affects approximately 1% of the US population. Goals of migraine prophylaxis include reduction in headache severity and frequency, improved Gabapentin is FDA-approved for the following conditions: Postherpetic neuralgia Moderate to severe restless leg syndrome Seizures In addition to its FDA-approved applications, gabapentin has been used and studied widely off-label in the treatment of other conditions, including migraine and other types of headaches. My evaluation of the marketing materials points to a pattern of suppressing the results of negative randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials. At the same time, lower level, uncontrolled data were used to promote the off-label use of gabapentin for migraine prophylaxis, and generate interest in conducting new double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials, which Parke-Davis Our observations indicate that gabapentin is well tolerated by patients and that reduces headache frequency and use of symptomatic drugs in both groups. Gabapentin shows to have an effective therapeutic action in the prophylactic treatment of migraine.
