The Efficacy of Different Triptans for the Treatment of Acute Headache in Pediatric Migraine: A Systematic Review

CONCLUSION: We found that rizatriptan (good tolerability profile with a dose of 5 mg) and sumatriptan (oral administration) had higher efficiency as compared to other triptans. Regardless of type or dose, all triptans are generally well tolerated by patients, but a few adverse effects such as light-headedness (sumatriptan), nasopharyngitis, and, muscular spasms (sumatriptan/ naproxen), somnolence, and dry mouth (rizatriptan), and dizziness (zolmitriptan group) were reported with the triptans.PMID:37209053
