Indomethacin-responsive headaches in children and adolescents.
Headache is a common symptom in childhood and adolescence. Effective therapy for this symptom is based on the specific headache syndrome. This article presents examples of the four recognized Indomethacin-responsive headache syndromes encountered in pediatrics including exertional headache, cyclic-cluster migraine, chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, and hemicrania continua. Although uncommon conditions, successful treatment depends on recognition of these indomethacin-responsive headache syndromes.
