Title: [Therapeutic possibilities in idiopathic headaches. Analysis of 1000 cases (author's transl)].
Abstract: According to Pearson's method (correlation coefficient) the group of improved patients is 16.88% of the expected total result (frequency of attacks regressed to 50%, 25% or 0%): for cyproheptadine, pizotifene, methysergide, methergoline, histamine, clonidine, allylpropylmalonyl urea 'p' is less than 0.001, for cinnarizine less than 0.02. For hemicrania we used cinnarizine, cyproheptadine, clonidine, histamine, pizotifene and reserpine; for cluster headache, cinnarizine, cyproheptadine, clonidine, histamine and reserpine; for tension headache, cyproheptadine; for psychogenic headache, allylpropylmalonylurea. In attacks of hemicrania or paroxysmal crises with undulant headache or persistent headache, positive statistically significant results were obtained with a combination of indomethacin, prochlorperazine and caffeine.
