[Migraine and tiapride. A controlled study (author's transl)].

Patients complaining of migraine often consult the hepato-gastro-enterologist because of dyspepsia or "crise de foie". The treatment of the migraine must improve those symptoms which lead to a wrong diagnosis and to inadequate treatments. Several medication are available to treat the migraine. The tiapride, already known as being effective in common or secondary headaches, was given to 40 patients complaining of migraine. The controlled study done versus placebo clearly proves that this medication is effective. It should be used in the treatment of migraine.
