July 6, 2020 updated by: KONSTANTINOS SPINGOS, Corfu Headache Clinic

Real World, Open Label Prospective Experience of Supplementation With a Fixed Combination of Magnesium, Vitamin B2, Feverfew, Andrographis Paniculata and Coenzyme Q10 for Episodic Migraine Prophylaxis

To investigate efficacy and safety of a supplementation with a fixed combination of magnesium, vitamin B2, feverfew, andrographis paniculata and coenzyme Q10 (Vivinor®) in episodic migraine prevention, by an observational, prospective real-world study in 113 Greek patients with episodic migraine that were prospectively followed-up for three months. The primary endpoint was the change in monthly migraine days between baseline period (BL)and the third month of treatment (T3).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

To investigate efficacy and safety of a supplementation with a fixed combination of magnesium, vitamin B2, feverfew, andrographis paniculata and coenzyme Q10 (Vivinor®) in episodic migraine prevention.

An observational, prospective real-world study. After a one-month baseline period, Vivinor® was introduced in 113 Greek patients with episodic migraine that were prospectively followed-up for three months. The primary endpoint was the change in monthly migraine days between baseline period (BL)and the third month of treatment (T3). Secondary endpoints included changes in mean intensity of migraine and in days with use of acute migraine medications. Changes in scores of Migraine Disability Assessment questionnaire (MIDAS), Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6), Migraine Therapy Assessment questionnaire (MTAQ), MSQ-QOL (Migraine-Specific Quality of life questionnaire), HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) were also evaluated. Those with ≥50% reduction in monthly migraine days during T3 compared to BL were considered Vivinor®-responders.
