title: [Treatment of headache with tiapride (author's transl)].
abstract: The therapeutic effect of tiapride was studied in 54 patients attending a neurological department for various types of headaches. In most cases these had been present for several years and were resistant to treatment. The average dosage of tiapride was one tablet three times per day. The headache had completely disappeared after treatment in 17 patients. In 28 patients they reappeared after discontinuing treatment but disappeared again when tiapride was again administered. The symptom persisted in 9 patients. Best results were obtained in post-traumatic and psychogenic headaches and in migraine. Results were less successful in headaches occurring in epileptic patients. Tolerance was good and no significant extrapyramidal, neurovegetative, or neuro-endocrine effects were observed.
