Abstract | Full Text: PDF (Size: 120K) | Related Articles | Citation Tracking Chronic Cluster Headache: A Review of 60 Patients Copyright © 1987 American Headache Society (formerly the American Association for the Study of Headache) ABSTRACTSYNOPSIS This article reports the clinical features and results of treatment of 60 patients with chronic cluster headache (CCH) with data on extended follow-up of 46 patients (median 4 years). Treatment was generally difficult and often "trial and error" in nature. Lithium carbonate, methysergide, corticosteroids and indomethacin were of some limited usefulness as prophylactic agents. Symptomatic therapy by a variety of agents was evaluated but commonly, daily usage resulted in side effects and excessive dosage. Longterm follow-up revealed that 59% of patients were either free of headache (33%) or categorized as satisfactory by patient and examiner (26%). Fourteen (52%) of these had undergone a surgical procedure. Accepted for Publication: Feb. 18, 1987 |
