BMJ: Parenteral metoclopramide for acute migraine: meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials -- Colman et al. 329 (7479): 1369
""Conclusions: Metoclopramide is an effective treatment for migraine headache and may be effective when combined with other treatments. Given its non-narcotic and antiemetic properties, metoclopramide should be considered a primary agent in the treatment of acute migraines in emergency departments.""
This works well. I've been using metoclopramide (Reglan) for perioperative migraine for years, ever since learning about it from a Navy ER doc at Balboa. I don't use metoclopramide for post-operative nausea vomiting (prophylactic or treatment), but that's another blog post.
