  • The headaches were characterized by occasional exacerbations.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced complete relief from her chronic headache symptoms.
  • Treatment involved a daily dosage of 150 mg of indomethacin.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential of indomethacin as an effective treatment for specific chronic headache presentations.
  • Further research may explore indomethacin's role in managing similar long-standing headache disorders.
