Brief Summary  
Migraine headache is a neurological  disorder associated with significant disability and impaired quality of life, adversely affecting daily  activity and work-related productivity for many persons. 

Furthermore, most migraine patients require bed rest in addition to medication,  indicating that migraine continues to significantly affect their lives.

Despite the existence of multiple well established migraine preventive therapies, there is a significant proportion of migraine patients for whom currently available therapies are either ineffective or poorly tolerated. 

Memantine is a moderate-affinity uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist that is approved in the U.S. for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. 

This antagonist, which has fewer side effects than other NMDA antagonists, is believed to work by competing with magnesium in the synapse, which inhibits the prolonged influx of calcium. 

This inhibition blocks neuronal excitation or CSD and therefore is thought to inhibit migraine pain. 

Hence this study is undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of memantine in migraine patients,without affecting the physiological functions.

OBJECTIVES OF THIS STUDY


—Primary objective is to evaluate whether memantine as monotherapy has a prophylactic effect in migraine compared with placebo

—Secondary objective is to evaluate Whether memantine therapy can improve the quality of life
