The purpose of this study was to study the dynamics of indicators of the scale of Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) in patients with different forms of migraine, which is complicated by migraine status due to the use of prophylactic treatment. 50 patients suffering from migraine, complicated by migraine status, have been examined and treated in the neurological department of the Kyiv Railway Clinical Hospital №2. The degree of pain has been assessed on a visual analog scale (VAS) and the level of disability has been assessed on MIDAS. The solution of valproate acid was used in the main group of patients for the treatment of migraine status during three days. The traditional vasoactive and dehydration therapy was used in the control group within ten days. It was proved, that the solution of preparation of valproic acid for treatment of status migrainous authentically increases degree of headache and level of disadaptation in patients during 6 months. Migraine attacks continued to lead to loss of working capacity and daily activity of patients in the control group. Treatment was safe for patients and well tolerated.Our study showed that the use of solution of valproate acid in the treatment of migraine status in patients with different forms of migraine is authentic effective and leads to decrease the degree of disadaptation in patients during 6–8 months after treatment.
