Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a single oral dose of NPS 1776 in the acute treatment of migraine pain and associated symptoms.
Detailed Description:
Migraine, the most common cause of recurrent severe or disabling headache, is diagnosed on the basis of a clinical history of intermittent headache with autonomic, constitutional, and neurologic disturbances.
Many antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have demonstrated efficacy as acute and/or prophylaxis therapy for migraine, even though the mechanism of action of the various AEDs is poorly understood.
NPS 1776, isovaleramide, is a neutral aliphatic amide. The mechanism by which NPS 1776 exerts its therapeutic actions in nonclinical animal models of disease is unclear. The same is true for many antiepileptics on the market today. NPS 1776 does not appear to bind directly to various CNS receptor centers, although it shows a broad range of anticonvulsant activity in multiple animal models of seizures. This broad profile of anticonvulsant activity is similar to that of valproic acid (VPA), and may also predict NPS 1776 efficacy in the treatment of migraine.
