Intervention model description: We will assess The number of migraine days after three months of treatment, and the percentage of patients who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in the monthly headache days frequency compared to the baseline frequency (14). HIT-6 score reduction in each group after three months of treatment. The safety of treatment was evaluated by monitoring and documenting treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) in patients through regular follow-up procedures for three months.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Investigators aim to compare the effect of lacosamide versus topiramate in migraine by assessing the absolute reduction in MMD in each group, the percentage of patients who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in the monthly headache days frequency compared to the baseline frequency.

Detailed description: Investigators will enroll 600 migraine patients who are diagnosed according to ICHD3-beta criteria in our study and will use a questionnaire to detect their demographic and clinical features (disease duration, attack frequency, and duration, pain intensity assessed by the visual analogic scale and we have two groups the first group will include 300 patients and will receive 50 mg lacosamide twice daily and Acetaminophen 500-1000 mg in acute attack, and the second group will receive topiramate100 mg per day and Acetaminophen 500-1000 mg in acute attack for at least three months. Investigators will assess The number of migraine days after three months of treatment and the percentage of patients who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in the monthly headache days frequency compared to the baseline frequency (14).. HIT-6 score reduction in each group after three months of treatment. The safety of lacosamide was evaluated by monitoring and documenting treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) in patients through regular follow-up procedures for three months.
