专家说,治疗偏头痛的新药一旦面世就会有巨大需求,因为目前的药物只对大约50%-60%的患者有一定疗效,并且心脏病患者和有中风病史的人都不能服用。而且这些药物并不能治本,在很多病例中,患者在24小时内又会出现头痛。
There also is a separate category of preventive drugs, which tend to be used by a small proportion of people who suffer from more frequent or debilitating migraines.
还有一种单独类型的预防性药物,使用者一般是一小部分偏头痛发生频率较高或发作起来更难受的人。
'People need migraine drugs that have a rapid onset of action, that take the pain away and keep it away,' says Richard Lipton, director of the Montefiore Headache Center in New York.
“人们需要立竿见影的偏头痛药,能够止痛并让它不再复发,”纽约蒙特菲奥里头痛研究中心(Montefiore Headache Center)的主任理查德•利普顿(Richard Lipton)说。
Headache disorders are among the most common medical conditions world-wide. More than 1 in 10 adults globally are affected by migraines, which can be incapacitating, according to the World Health Organization. International studies have found that 50% to 75% of adults have reported a headache in the past year, with up to 4% of the global population reporting having a headache in half or more of the days each month, WHO says.
