Research Summary
A new study published in BMC Neurology explores the effectiveness and safety of preventive treatments for vestibular migraine through a systematic review and network meta-analysis. Vestibular migraine, characterized by recurrent vertigo, severely affects quality of life, and current treatment comparisons are limited. This study analyzed data from nine studies, including five randomized controlled trials with 419 patients, comparing seven treatments. Propranolol emerged as the most effective, reducing monthly vertigo attacks by 7, followed by valproic acid and venlafaxine. Galcanezumab demonstrated moderate efficacy with no discontinuations, offering a promising balance of effectiveness and tolerability. However, direct comparison trials are needed for clearer clinical guidance.
