For the last quarter of a century, triptans have been available for acute
treatment of migraine but with little guidance on which of the different triptan
products to use for which patient or which attack of migraine. In this article,
we propose a structured approach to analysis of individual migraine attacks and
patient characteristics as a means of defining and optimizing acute intervention.
Assessment of patient and attack profiles includes the "5-Ps": pattern,
phenotype, patient, pharmacology, and precipitants. Attending to these five
components of information can assist in developing an individualized behavioral,
pharmacological, and nonpharmacological comprehensive treatment plan for most
migraine patients. This clinical approach is then focused on frovatriptan because
of its unique molecular signature and potential novel clinical applications.
Frovatriptan like all triptans is indicated for acute treatment of migraine but
its role has been explored in management of several unique migraine phenotypes.
Frovatriptan has the longest half-life of any triptan and consequently is often
promoted for acute treatment of migraine of longer duration. It has also been
studied as a short-term preventive treatment in women with menstrual-related
migraine. Given that 60% of female migraineurs suffer from menstrual-related
migraine, this population is the obvious group for continued study. Small studies
have also explored frovatriptan's use in treating migraine predicted by
premonitory symptoms as a preventive for the headache phase of migraine. By
identifying patient and attack profiles, clinicians may effectively determine the
viability of frovatriptan as an effective pharmacological intervention for
migraine.
