Migraine-Related Healthcare Resource Use and Costs for Subjects Prescribed Fixed-Dose Combination Sumatriptan/Naproxen Sodium vs. Single-Entity Oral Triptans in a Managed Care Population in the USA

Study results suggest similar healthcare resource use patterns and associated costs when comparing S/NS and SOT across a triptan-naïve and triptan-experienced population. While the current study focuses on direct medical costs, future studies should extend beyond such a perspective to explore functional status, productivity, and health-related quality of life and satisfaction, attributes not captured in administrative claims data, but nonetheless important treatment goals. </AbstractSection> Copyright Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015
