Weight regain after discontinuation of topiramate treatment in patients with migraine: a prospective observational study.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To monitor weight regain after therapy discontinuation in patients with migraine experiencing weight loss during topiramate (TPM) treatment. METHODS:Patients with migraine without aura were enrolled in this observational prospective study. Weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, plasma levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, leptin, and ghrelin, and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were evaluated before starting TPM (T1), at 3 (T2) and 6 (T3) months of treatment and 6 months after withdrawal of TPM (T4). Weight loss/regain was considered as a change of 5% of pre-TPM body weight. RESULTS:A total of 241 patients were analyzed. Of these, 87 (36%) patients experienced weight loss on TPM medication. During TPM therapy significant reductions in mean values of weight (p<0.001), BMI (p<0.001), waist circumference (p<0.01), HOMA-IR (p<0.01), and leptin (p<0.01) were observed. After TPM discontinuation, all of these parameters showed a clear trend to increase at T4, achieving pre-TPM values in 27 patients. Among potential predictors, only HOMA-IR before starting TPM (parameter estimate=1.36, effect size=0.75; p=0.006) was significantly associated with weight regain after therapy discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS:Loss of body weight is a reversible effect, which at 6 months after TPM discontinuation shows a clear trend to return to baseline values. HOMA-IR is the only predictive factor of weight regain.
