MEDICAMENTS AND METHODS FOR TREATING HEADACHE

摘要

An acute pain medication overuse disorder (such as a medication overuse headache disorder) can be treated by administration of a botulinum toxin to a patient. A headache can be treated more effectively by co-administration of a botulinum toxin and a triptan drug to a patient and/or the effectiveness of a triptan medication can be increased. The botulinum toxin can be botulinum toxin type A and the botulinum toxin can be administered to or to the vicinity of where a patient experiences or is predisposed to experience pain or a headache.
