Brief summary

In this study, the investigators planned to compare the effectiveness of an intravenous ibuprofen against an intravenous dexketoprofen among patients (18-65 years) who were admitted to the emergency department (ED) with acute migraine-related headaches and diagnosed migraine without aura. In this study, patients who presented with migraine-related headache to emergency departments will be included in this study. Two different therapy option are created; first, 400mg intravenous ibuprofen with 10mg intravenous metoclopramide Hcl , second, 50 mg intravenous dexketoprofen with 10mg intravenous metoclopramide Hcl. Patients's headache scores will be measured with visual analog score (VAS) at the pretreatment and post-treatment periods (0. minutes, 30. minutes, and 60. minutes.) 60 minutes after treatment, as a rescue therapy, 100mg tramadol will be given to patients whose headache score does not decrease by more than 50% from pretreatment-VAS score.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Resolving of Headache at 60 minute60 minutes after treatment - Change from Baseline Visual Analog Scale at 60th minutesPatients's headache scores will be measured by using Visual Analog Scale (VAS). This scale ranged from 0mm (no pain) to 100mm (worst pain). Measurements will be performed at pre-treatment period and 60th minute after treatments.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Resolving of Headache at 30 minute30 minutes after treatment-Change from Baseline Visual Analog Scale at 30th minutesPatients's headache scores will be measured by using Visual Analog Scale (VAS). This scale ranged from 0mm (no pain) to 100mm (worst pain). Measurements will be performed at pre-treatment period and 30th minutes after treatments.
Needing of rescue treatment60 minutes after treatment60 minutes after treatment, as a rescue therapy, 100mg tramadol will be given to patients whose headache pain score - which measured by using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) - does not decrease by more than 50% from pretreatment-VAS score. This scale ranged from 0mm (no pain) to 100mm (worst pain).
Side and adverse effectsFrom start of performing drug to in the first 24 hours after drug administrationany side/adverse effects related to study drugs such as hypotension, bradycardia, or anaphylaxis or local adverse effects such as pain or hematoma in the injection area
