Abstract

The case of a man with a 34 year history of episodic cluster headaches is described. At the peak of a cluster the headaches occurred up to twenty times a day. The headaches were unresponsive to conventional therapy but were dramatically abolished by indomethacin. This effect of indomethacin was confirmed in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial.
