Work and Productivity Loss in the Rizatriptan Multiple Attack Study

The objective of this study was to measure the self-reported effect of acute migraine and its treatment on paid work and productivity loss. Patients self-administered a questionnaire in which the impact of a recent migraine on paid work and productivity activities was assessed. We included the questionnaire in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, out-patient study designed to examine the safety and efficacy of rizatriptan (5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist) 10 mg p.o. in patients treating four separate migraine attacks. A total of 407 patients, aged 18–65 years, suffering from moderate to severe migrainous headaches was studied. Patients receiving rizatriptan compared with placebo reported 0.7 fewer hours (P < 0.01) of paid worked missed due to absenteeism, 0.4 fewer hours (P < 0.05) of productive time lost on the job, and 1.1 fewer total hours (P < 0.01) of work loss per migraine attack. Rizatriptan compared with placebo significantly reduced migraine-related work loss associated with absenteeism and decreased effectiveness on the job.
