  • Comparing the Effect of Venlafaxine and the Combination of Nortriptyline and Propranolol in the Prevention of Migraine
    Comparing the Effect of Venlafaxine and the Combination of Nortriptyline and Propranolol in the Prevention of Migraine Arash Mosarrezaii1, Mohammad Reza Amiri Nikpour1, Ata Jabarzadeh2 1Department of Neurology, Imam Khomeini Hospital, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran, 2Medical Student, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran Abstract Background: Migraine is a debilitating neurological condition, which can be categorized into episodic and chronic groups based on its clinical pattern. Avoiding the risk factors exacerbating migraine is not enough to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches, and in the case of non-receiving proper drug treatment, episodic migraines have the potential to become chronic, which increases the risk of cardiovascular complications RESEARCH ARTICLE and leaves great impact on the quality of life of patients and increasing the health-care costs. The objective of this research was to compare the effects of venlafaxine (VFL) and nortriptyline and propranolol in preventing migraines. Methods: This research is an interventional study performed on 60 patients with migraine admitted to the neurological clinic. Patients were visited at 3 time intervals. In each stage, the variables of headache frequency, headache severity, nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness were recorded. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23 software. Results: VFL drug with a daily dose of 37.5 mg is not only more tolerable in the long term but also leaves better effect in reducing the frequency and severity of headaches compared to the combination of nortriptyline and propranolol. Conclusion: VFL is an appropriate, effective, and tolerable alternative to migraine treatment. Key words: Migraine, nortriptyline, propranolol, venlafaxine INTRODUCTION Patients with CM are less likely to have full-time job than patients with episodic type, and they are at risk of job igraine is known as a common incapacity, anxiety, chronic pain, and depression 2 times neurological disorder and causes more than patients with episodic migraine.

As of 1 January 2015, 55 of the nation's poison centers (PCs) uploaded case data automatically to NPDS. The upload interval was 9.52 [7.40, 13.6] (median [25%, 75%]) minutes, creating a near real-time national exposure and information database and surveillance system. Methods We analyzed the case data tabulating specific indices from NPDS. The methodology was similar to that of previous years. Where changes were introduced, the differences are identified. Poison center cases with medical outcomes of death were evaluated by a team of medical and clinical toxicologist reviewers using an ordinal scale of 1-6 to assess the Relative Contribution to Fatality (RCF) of the exposure. Results In 2015, 2,792,130 closed encounters were logged by NPDS: 2,168,371 human exposures, 55,516 animal exposures, 560,467 information calls, 7657 human confirmed nonexposures, Current Awareness in Clinical Toxicology is produced monthly for the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology by the Birmingham Unit of the UK National Poisons Information Service, with contributions from the Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Newcastle Units.

  • French Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Migraine in Adults and Children
    French Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Migraine in Adults and Children Gilles Gkraud, MD,l Michel Lank-i-Minet, MD,’ Christian Lucas, MD,3 and Dominique Valade, MD,4 on behalf of the French Society for the Study of Migraine Headache (SFEMC) lDepartment of Neurology, Rangueil Hospital, Toulouse, 2Pain Centel; Pasteur Hospital, Nice, 3Depurtment of Neurology, Sulengro Hospital, Lille, and 4Heuduche Emergency Centel; Lur-iboisi&e Hospital, Paris, France ABSTRACT Background: The French Recommendations for Clinical Practice: Diagnosis and Therapy of Migraine are guidelines concerning the overall management of patients with migraine, including diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and assessment of disability Objective: This article summarizes the guidelines as they apply to adults and children, and proposes future direction for steps toward optimal treatment of migraine in patients in France. Methods: The recommendations were categorized into 3 levels of proof (A-C) according to the National Agency for Accreditation and Evaluation in Health (ANAES) methodology and were based on a professional consensus reached among members of the Working Group and the Guidelines Review Group of the ANAES. Results: The International Headache Society diagnostic criteria for migraine should be used in routine clinical practice. Recommended agents for the treatment of migraine in adults include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) monotherapy or in combination with metoclopramide, acetaminophen monotherapy, triptans, ergotamine tartrate, and dihydroergotamine mesylate. Patients should use the medication as early as possible after the onset of migraine headache. For migraine prophylaxis in adults, the following can be used: propranolol, metoprolol, oxetorone, or amitriptyline as first-line treatment, and pizotifen, flunarizine, valproate sodium, or topiramate as second-line treatment.
