Ubrogepant vs. Triptans: Superior Relief for Migraine Sufferers

Research Summary

A recent study published in Pain Management explored the real-world experiences of migraine patients switching from an oral triptan to either another triptan or ubrogepant. Conducted over four weeks with 211 participants, the research assessed satisfaction, treatment preference, and patient experience. Results showed that those who switched to ubrogepant reported significantly higher satisfaction in treating pain and alleviating their most bothersome symptoms compared to those who switched to a different triptan. The ubrogepant group also expressed a stronger preference for their new treatment and experienced better relief at two hours post-treatment. Overall, ubrogepant provided better patient outcomes than switching to another triptan.
