The treatment of cluster headaches with prednisone
Abstract:
Nineteen patients obstinate with cluster headaches whose pain was not mitigated by standard treatment (Methysergide, caffeine, ergotamine preparation, phenobarbital and analgesics) underwent a double blind control study with single crossover for the evaluation of prednisone therapy. Compared to placebo, a single oral dose of prednisone in 17 cases produced sustained improvement. Maintenance administration of prednisone was also effective in decreasing the frequency of attacks; however a single dose of the steroid when headaches began was effective.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
