Abstract
- A pharmacological trial has been carried out on 41 out-patients suffering from mixed headache. The prophylactic effect of a timed-release dihydroergotamine formulation was tested versus amitriptyline. Patients reported daily, on appropriate cards, the hours of headache and the degree of pain during the month before therapy and on the following two months of treatment. Whereas amitriptyline was found to be more effective than dihydroergotamine in reducing headache intensity, timed-release dihydroergotamine was found significantly more effective than amitriptyline in reducing attacks of "migraine" type.
