Abstract: The analgesic effects of metoclopramide (MTP) and pethidine (PET) and combination of metoclopramide-pethidine (M-Pet) are compared in the treatment of the adult patients suffering from acute primary vascular and headaches caused due to tension. The results showed that MTP produces more effective analgesia than PET in both vascular and tension type headaches.
