Significance of Migrainous Features in Cluster Headache: Divalproex Responsiveness
@article{Wheeler1998SignificanceOM, title={Significance of Migrainous Features in Cluster Headache: Divalproex Responsiveness}, author={S. D. Wheeler}, journal={Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain}, year={1998}, volume={38} }
Two patients with cluster headache and prominent migrainous features are described and a shared migraine and cluster headache pathophysiology is discussed. Both patients failed routine cluster headache pharmacotherapy, one failed multiple operative interventions; however, both remitted on divalproex. It is suggested that migrainous features be assessed in cluster headache and divalproex initiated before pursuing invasive procedures.
