Migrenska glavobolja je intenzivna pulsirajuća hemikranija, praćena fotofobijom, fonofobijom, scintilirajućim skotomima, vegetativnim simptomima, ponekad i prolaznim neurološkim ispadima. Migrena ima negativan utjecaj na emocionalni i socio-ekonomski život pojedinca, a poznata je i povezanost s cerebrovaskularnim bolestima. Zato su profilaksa i zaustavljanje napadaja migrene bitni u prevenciji moždanog udara i poboljšanju kvalitete života. Prikazana su naša iskustva u profilaktičkoj primjeni antiepileptika 4. generacije (lamotrigin i topiramat). Cilj je bio utvrditi učinkovitost tih antikonvulziva na broj dana provedenih bez glavobolje, na ukupan dojam o poboljšanju kvalitete života, utjecaj na radnu sposobnost praćenjem broja dana izostanka s posla i utjecaj profilakse na tip i intenzitet boli. Rezultati su pokazali da je prema ukupnom dojmu većina ispitanika (95,4%) izjavila da profilaksa antiepilepticima pomaže u liječenju migrenske glavobolje. Uočeno je značajno smanjenje broja dana s glavoboljom tijekom godine dana, kao i značajan pad apsentizma zbog migrene (2 = 16,952, P<0,0001), a 54 % ispitanika je izjavilo da uz profilaksu uopće ne izostaje s posla. Također je značajno smanjen intenzitet i tip boli
Migraine headache is an intense, pulsating hemicrania, accompanied by photophobia, phonophobia, scintillating scotomata, vegetative symptoms, and sometimes also by transient neurological deficits. Migraine adversely affects emotional and socio-economic life, and there is a correlation with cerebrovascular diseases. Relief and prophylaxis of migraine attack are very important in prevention of cerebral infarction and improvement in quality of life. The paper presents our experience in the migraine prophylaxis using the 4th generation antiepileptic drugs (lamotrigine and topiramate). The objective was to determine efficacy of the anticonvulsant prophylaxis. We have analysed the number of days without headache, quality of life estimation, effects on working capacity evaluating the absenteeism rate, and effects on pain type and intensity. The majority of the patients (95.4 %) declared that antiepileptic prophylaxis improved their migraine. A significant reduction in headache days per year was observed, and absenteeism was significantly reduced (2 = 16.952, P<0.0001) and eliminated in 54 % of the examinees. Pain intensity and type of were also significantly reduced.
