Abstract:
We analyze the results of treatment and the course of disease in 20 patients suffering from chronic cluster headache. Patients were followed for an average of 5 years. Sumatriptan provided the most effective relief of symptoms in those who used that medication. The results of surgical and medical prophylaxes were poor. The disease either remitted or changed to an episodic variety after several months or years in most patients. There is no evidence to suggest that these changes were related to any particular treatment.
