Arm 2
Experimental
Experimental
lacosamide and Acetaminophen arm
Acetaminophen group
The arm will include 300 migraine patients diagnosed according to ICHD3-beta criteria. We will assess the absolute change in MMD in each group, the percentage of patients who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in the monthly headache days frequency compared to the baseline frequency. The percentage of responders to acute treatment was identified when patients achieved pain freedom within 2 h in ≥ 4 of 5 attacks, while insufficient responders achieved pain freedom in ≤ 3 of 5 attacks (12). The fourth factor was the percentage of patients who achieved a low MIGSEV scale (grade 1) after 3 months of treatment.
