Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous metoclopramide for acute migraine treatment.
Materials And Methods: A double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial was carried out in an academic emergency department. After the patients were assessed for eligibility via the International Headache Society criteria for migraines, they were randomized into 10 mg intravenous metoclopramide and normal saline groups. The headache intensity was evaluated using an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) score. The primary outcome measure was determined as the median between-group change in the score at the 30th minute. The secondary outcome measures were rescue medication needs, adverse events, and emergency department (ED) revisits after discharge.
Results: A total of 148 patients were randomized into two equal groups with similar baseline characteristics, including the baseline NRS scores (8 points). The median reduction in the NRS scores at the 30th minute was 4 [interquartile range (IQR): 2-6)] in the metoclopramide group and 3 (IQR: 1-4) in the normal saline group [median difference: -1.0, 95% confidence interval (CI): -2.1 to 0.1]. No serious adverse events were observed, and the rescue medication needs were similar in both groups.
Conclusion: No difference was found between intravenous metoclopramide and placebo regarding efficacy and safety in patients with acute migraines.

Dopamine receptor antagonists like metoclopramide are frequently used in a variety of clinical contexts to treat gastrointestinal disorders and control nausea and vomiting. However, it is associated with a high incidence of extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) in children, including dystonic movements and torticollis. This is the instance of a 9-year-old girl who developed abnormal movements of the neck and tongue, along with torticollis, within 48 hours of receiving intravenous metoclopramide for gastroenteritis.

Study Objective: We performed a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis to determine which pharmacologic therapies are relatively more effective and safer for migraine in adult patients who present to the emergency department (ED).
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to February 9, 2024. Eligible studies were randomized controlled trials that enrolled adult participants presenting to ED with migraine and compared one pharmacologic therapy to another or placebo.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of thumbtack needle acupuncture (TNA) combined with patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) to improve recovery after laparoscopic myomectomy (LM), addressing pain and gastrointestinal issues that hinder same-day discharge.
- - 52 patients were randomly assigned to receive either TNA or standard care, and various pain and recovery metrics were measured, including Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores and gastrointestinal function.
- - Results showed that the TNA group had significantly lower pain scores, reduced need for additional pain medications, quicker gastrointestinal recovery, and shorter hospital stays compared to the control group, indicating TNA may enhance post-surgery outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Foodborne illnesses can lead to serious conditions like liver failure, especially in vulnerable populations such as children and young adults, but they often go unreported due to their self-limiting nature.
- In a specific case, a 48-year-old woman experienced severe symptoms after eating contaminated rice salad, resulting in metabolic acidosis and liver dysfunction.
- After treatment in the emergency department, including the use of N-acetylcysteine, her condition improved, and she was discharged nine days later with recovering liver function.
Comparison of enteral prucalopride intravenous metoclopramide for feeding intolerance in patients with critical illness: a randomized double-blinded study.

Department of Pharmacy Practice and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Future University in Egypt, Cairo, Egypt.
Background: Feeding intolerance is commonly experienced during enteral feeding, necessitating cessation. Metoclopramide may be given to assist gastric emptying, but patients experience adverse effects and gradual loss of efficacy. Prucalopride, a safer prokinetic, may play a role in gastric emptying.
