Could two old drugs beat one for migraine prevention?

NCT ID NCT07655700

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This trial tests whether taking two inexpensive migraine prevention drugs together works better than taking either one alone. Adults aged 18 to 55 who have at least four migraines per month will receive propranolol, flunarizine, or both for 12 weeks. The goal is to see which approach reduces monthly migraine days most effectively and safely.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

propranolol and flunarizine (alone or combined)

What this could lead to

If the combination works better, it could offer a more effective, affordable option for preventing frequent migraines without needing expensive new drugs.

What could go wrong

This is a single-center, open-label trial, so results may not apply broadly. Side effects from either drug or the combination could limit use, and the 12-week duration may not reflect long-term benefits.
