Sulpiride and headache syndromes.
Numerous studies have indicated that sulpiride exerts a positive effect upon several psychosomatic symptoms. This effect is generally believed to depend on the thymoanaleptic activity of the molecule. Since headache can often represent the warning symptom of a masked depression, in the present study sulpiride has been administered to patients suffering from nonorganic headache syndromes. The results obtained confirm the efficacy of sulpiride in relieving headache and other psychosomatic discomforts.
