Secondary outcomes included pain relief at 2 hours, pain free at 24 hours, most bothersome symptom free at 2 hours, and adverse events.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Seven randomized controlled trials and 6515 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with lasmiditan 100 mg for migraine patients, lasmiditan 200 mg was able to significantly improve pain free at 2 hours (odd ratio [OR], 1.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14-1.44; P < 0.0001) and pain free at 24 hours (OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.14-1.60; P = 0.0005), but showed no effect on pain relief at 2 hours (OR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.90-1.12; P = 0.98) or most bothersome symptom free at 2 hours (OR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.83-1.03; P = 0.17). Lasmiditan 200 mg was associated with the increase in adverse events compared with lasmiditan 100 mg (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.15-1.43; P < 0.0001).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Lasmiditan 200 mg is more effective to improve pain free at 2 hours and 24 hours than lasmiditan 100 mg for the acute treatment of migraine patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":10449,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Neuropharmacology","volume":"47 2","pages":"44-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140118960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
