title: [Essential headache as an equivalent to a withdrawal syndrome: experience with naloxone].
abstract: The Authors, starting with the hypothesis that could exist a correlation between the opiate withdrawal and the migraine crisis, used the naloxone, opiate pure antagonist, in order to induced the migraine crisis. 30 patients affected by migraine were studied; naloxone was administered acutely (2 mg e.v.) during the asintomatic period. The naloxone administration never caused the migraine crisis. The patients didn't complain variations regarding the psycho-physical status or the monitored clinical parameters.
