Lifetime treatment history of UP-MDD revealed that 5923.3.3%) had received at least one MS (lithium, valpromide [French variant of divalproex], and carbamazepine) in the past; from this sub-population, 18 were considered retrospectively as good responders (30%, GR) versus 41 poor responders (70%, PR) to MS augmentation on the basis of the clinical judgment of the treating psychiatrist.
Outcomes where individual symptoms are not specified, such as reduction in migraine frequency, responder rate, migraine duration, and migraine severity, refer to a migraine attack as classified by the patient's own judgment.
