EXPERIMENTAL

The arm will include 300 migraine patients diagnosed according to ICHD3-beta criteria. All patients will receive zonisamide 50 mg twice daily and Acetaminophen 500-1000 mg only in acute migraine attacks for 3 months. We will assess The change in migraine days per 28 days, the number of migraine days after three months of treatment, and the percentage of patients who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in the monthly headache days frequency compared to the baseline frequency (14). HIT-6 score reduction in each group after three months of treatment.

We will assess The change in migraine days per 28 days, the number of migraine days after three months of treatment, and the percentage of patients who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in the monthly headache days frequency compared to the baseline frequency (14). HIT-6 score reduction in each group after three months of treatment. The safety of lacosamide was evaluated by monitoring and documenting treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) in patients through regular follow-up procedures for three months.

Drug: Propranolol

Interventions

Zonisamide 50 MG DRUG

The arm will include 300 migraine patients diagnosed according to ICHD3-beta criteria. all patients received zonisamide 100 mg daily and acetaminophen 500-1000 mg on migraine attack. We will assess The change in migraine days per 28 days, the number of migraine days after three months of treatment, and the percentage of patients who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in the monthly headache days frequency compared to the baseline frequency (14). HIT-6 score reduction in each group after three months of treatment. The safety of zonisamide was evaluated by monitoring and documenting treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) in patients through regular follow-up procedures for three months.

Propranolol DRUG

The arm will include 300 migraine patients diagnosed according to ICHD3-beta criteria. All patients received propranolol 160 mg daily and acetaminophen 500-1000 mg on migraine attack. We will assess The change in migraine days per 28 days, the number of migraine days after three months of treatment, and the percentage of patients who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in the monthly headache days frequency compared to the baseline frequency (14). HIT-6 score reduction in each group after three months of treatment. The safety of lacosamide was evaluated by monitoring and documenting treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) in patients through regular follow-up procedures for three months.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: phase 3
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: INVESTIGATOR, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: An independent statistician generated a blocked randomization sequence using computer-generated random numbers; participants received either zonisamide and acetaminophen or propranolol and acetaminophen from a specially trained and qualified nurse. We prepared Sequentially numbered opaque sealed envelopes and 600 labels for each drug labeled Drug A or B. According to the randomization chart, put them into envelopes numbered 1 to 600. Envelopes were attached to the patient's files. Patients were recruited sequentially and were given enrollment numbers starting from 1, which were mentioned in their files. Files with the same number as the patient enrolment number were opened and the patients were assigned to receive drugs A or B. Drug A included zonisamide and acetaminophen, and Drug B included propranolol and acetaminophen. The statistical analysis was performed by an independent statistician who did not know the treatment protocol of groups A or B.
• Purpose: TREATMENT
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: principal investigator

Model Details: We will assess The number of migraine days after three months of treatment, and the percentage of patients who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in the monthly headache days frequency compared to the baseline frequency. HIT-6 score reduction in each group after three months of treatment. The safety of lacosamide was evaluated by monitoring and documenting treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) in patients through regular follow-up procedures for three months.
