"There has now been done a lot of research on this subject before. This may weaken the quality of the treatment and increase the cost of treatment for this patient group," says the leader of the study, Professor Marte-Helen Bjørk.
"When the withdrawal of acute migraine medicines changed little after starting preventive medicines, or people stopped quickly on the preventive medicines, the preventive medicine was interpreted as having little effect. If the preventive medicine was used on long, uninterrupted periods, and we saw a decrease in the consumption of acute medicines, we interpreted the preventive medicine as having good effect," Bjørk explains.
"The latest research findings challenge the current practices in treating migraines and open up new possibilities for more effective treatment," said the researchers.
