Flunarizine vs. propranolol for migraine in children
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests two medicines—flunarizine and propranolol—to see which one works better for preventing migraines in children ages 8 to 15. If your child has frequent migraines that affect their daily life, this study may help find a treatment that works for them.
