What is Flunarizine?
Flunarizine is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for migraine.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Flunarizine and propranolol have demonstrated efficacy in reducing migraine frequency across age groups, though evidence in pediatric populations remains limited and inconsistent. Therefore, the current study has been planned to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of flunarizine and propranolol in reducing migraine frequency in children aged 8-15 using the Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (PedMIDAS) score.
