Sumatriptan-naproxen sodium for menstrual migraine and dysmenorrhea: satisfaction, productivity, and functional disability outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of a sumatriptan/naproxen sodium combination tablet on patient satisfaction, productivity, and functional disability in menstrual migraine treated during the mild pain phase of a single menstrual migraine attack associated with dysmenorrhea.

Background: Menstrual migraineurs with dysmenorrhea represent a unique patient population not previously studied. When health outcomes end points are analyzed alongside traditional efficacy end points in migraine studies, a more comprehensive and robust understanding of the many factors that may influence patients' choice of and adherence to pharmacological treatments for migraine is observed.

Efficacy and tolerability of sumatriptan injection for the treatment of morning migraine: two multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled studies in adults.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of sumatriptan injection in the treatment of morning migraine.

Methods: In 2 multicenter (20 sites for study 1 and 25 sites for study 2), randomized, double-blind, controlled, parallel-group studies, male and female patients aged 18 to 65 years with migraine meeting International Headache Society criteria received SC sumatriptan succinate injection 6 mg or inactive vehicle (control) for the outpatient treatment of a single morning migraine, defined as migraine with moderate or severe pain on awakening. The primary end point was the percentage of patients who achieved pain-free relief (moderate or severe pain reduced to no pain) at 2 hours after treatment.
