'Migraine is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, yet so many people who suffer from this condition do not receive treatment or report that they are not satisfied with their treatment,' study author Dr Richard Lipton, from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine said. It was approved by the FDA in December 2019 for treating migraines - patients are recommended to take it as soon as they feel the pain of a migraine set in.
The new study, which was published in the journal Neurology, looked to see if the medication still worked if patients took it before they even felt pain. On average, those who took the drug were 73 percent more likely to report being able to go about their day without pain than those who didn't.'Based on our findings, treatment with ubrogepant may allow people with migraine who experience early warning signs before a migraine occurs to quickly treat migraine attacks in their earliest stages and go about their daily lives with little discomfort and disruption,' Dr Lipton said.
