New migraine shot shows promise for children in Long-Term study
NCT ID NCT04530110
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested the long-term safety of a monthly injection called fremanezumab to prevent migraines in children aged 6 to 17. Over 500 participants received the shot for up to 84 months. Researchers tracked side effects, changes in migraine days, and overall safety to see if this treatment is a good option for young people.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- fremanezumab (a monthly injection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safe, long-term option to prevent migraines in children and teenagers, reducing the frequency of painful attacks.
- What could go wrong
- This is an open-label study without a placebo group, so results may be less reliable. Side effects like injection site pain or allergic reactions are possible, and long-term benefits are not guaranteed.
