title: Suloctidil therapy in migraine: an open pilot study.
abstract: An open pilot study was carried out in 27 patients with severe and frequent migraine attacks who had failed to respond adequately to other drug therapy, to assess the effectiveness and tolerance of prophylactic treatment with suloctidil. Patients received 600 mg suloctidil daily for 6 weeks. Response, assessed on the reduction in frequency of attacks, was considered as good in 7 patients and as significant improvement in 11 patients. Treatment was rated as of doubtful value or as ineffective in the other 9 patients. One patient stopped treatment because of adverse reactions and 10 others reported mild side-effects.
