A Trial of Metoclopramide vs Sumatriptan for the Emergency Department Treatment of Migraines
Neurol 64:463-468, Friedman, B.W., et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
When compared at 2 and 24 hours, aggressive (20 mg dosed up to four times) IV Metoclopramide and 6 mg. of subcutaneous sumatriptan relieved migraine headache pain comparably. Some secondary endponts suggest that metoclopramide may be the preferable therapy for migraines presenting to the emergency department.
