Thirty-three studies were included in this network meta-analysis. subcutaneous sumatriptan showed significant headache-free, headache relief, clinical disability relief, nausea relief, phonophobia relief, and photophobia relief rates compared with placebo. At 1-hour post-dose, IV metoclopramide showed the highest headache-free (RR=8.98, 95%CI [4.13; 19.54]) and headache relief rates (RR=4.61, 95%CI [2.75; 7.71]), subcutaneous sumatriptan showed the highest clinical disability relief (RR=3.11, 95%CI [2.36; 4.10]) and nausea relief rates (RR=1.85, 95%CI [1.08; 3.17]), and IV valproate showed the highest phonophobia relief rate (RR=3.99, 95%CI [1.66; 9.61]) compared with placebo. At 2-hours post-dose, IV metoclopramide showed the highest headache-free rate (RR=7.39, 95%CI [3.31; 16.46]), subcutaneous naratriptan showed the highest clinical disability relief (RR=3.54, 95%CI [2.64; 4.74]) and nausea relief rates (RR=2.63, 95%CI [2.00; 3.46]), and subcutaneous sumatriptan showed the highest headache relief (RR=2.71, 95%CI [2.36; 3.11]), phonophobia relief (RR=2.03, 95%CI [1.35; 3.04]), and photophobia relief rates (RR=2.13, 95%CI [1.50; 3.03]) compared with placebo. subcutaneous Sumatriptan showed higher total adverse events (AEs) but comparable serious AEs and withdrawal due to AEs to placebo.
