I use this and it works well for me:

public function up() {

}

public function down() {
    DB::unprepared('DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS get_highscore');
}

To call a procedure in your code:

DB::unprepared('CALL get_highscore()');

if you expect a resulting table:

DB::statement('CALL update_highscore()');

if you expect variables:

DB::statement('CALL update_ranking(3,10,@olduser,@newuser)');
$dberg = DB::select('select @olduser as old, @newuser as new');
