In this single-blind, parallel group study, the efficacy of verapamil (240 mg/die) vs flunarizine (10 mg/die) for prophylactic treatment was evaluated in 38 patients (8M and 30F, mean age 34.4 years) with common or classic migraine. During the 3 months study, both drugs were found to be effective in reducing the number and intensity of the attacks. Verapamil showed better safety than flunarizine.
