Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The efficacy of DFN-15 for pain control of migraine remains controversial. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the influence of DFN-15 versus placebo on pain control in migraine patients.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: We search PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library databases through November 2019 for randomized controlled trials assessing the effect of DFN-15 versus placebo on pain control in migraine patients. This meta-analysis is performed using the random-effects model.
RESULTS: Three randomized controlled trials are included in the meta-analysis. Overall, compared with the control group in migraine patients, lasmiditan treatment shows a positive impact on pain freedom at 2 hours (risk ratio [RR], 1.96; 95% confidence interval, 1.61-2.40; P < 0.00001), headache response at 2 hours (RR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.25-1.57; P < 0.00001), and pain freedom at 24 hours (RR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.33-2.62; P = 0.0003), but has no obvious influence or no substantial impact on no or mild disability level (RR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.97-1.52; P = 0.09) or nausea (RR, 2.42; 95% CI, 0.53-11.01; P = 0.25). In addition, lasmiditan seems to result in the increase in dizziness (RR, 7.33; 95% CI, 1.83-29.30; P = 0.005) and paresthesia (RR, 5.17; 95% CI, 2.08-12.86; P = 0.0004). CONCLUSIONS: DFN-15 treatment may be effective and safe for pain control in migraine patients. PMID: 32658036 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
