NCT ID NCT04384367
First seen Sep 22, 2026 · Last updated Sep 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing a single oral tablet that combines rizatriptan and naproxen to treat acute migraine attacks. The trial enrolls adults aged 18 to 65 in Brazil who have migraine with or without aura. Participants receive one dose of the combination or a placebo, and researchers measure how many are pain-free at two hours and whether nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound improve.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A single oral tablet combining rizatriptan 10 mg and naproxen 550 mg
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this combination could offer a fast, single-dose option to stop migraine pain and related symptoms like nausea and light sensitivity.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 3 trial, so the combination may not beat placebo or may cause side effects. Results from Brazil may not apply to everyone, and it is not for chronic migraine or other headache types.
