  • To highlight the prokinetic benefits of metoclopramide and domperidone.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of anti-emetic therapies for migraine.
  • Analysis of drug mechanisms, focusing on prokinetic effects.

Main Results:

  • Phenothiazines and antihistamines offer symptomatic relief.
  • Metoclopramide and domperidone possess prokinetic properties.
  • Prokinetic effects may enhance oral medication absorption during migraine.

Conclusions:

  • Anti-emetics are crucial for migraine symptom control.
  • Metoclopramide and domperidone offer dual benefits: anti-emetic and prokinetic.
  • Addressing gastric stasis is key for effective oral migraine treatment.
