Background: Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug whose mecha-nism of action in certain types of headache disorders remains unknown
Purpose of Review Indomethacin is an important medication in the headache medicine toolbox given its utility for both of the diagnosis and treatment of several primary headache disorders
We report the response of seven patients with hypnic headache who were treated with indomethacin
Effective therapy for this symptom is based on the specific headache syndrome
Indomethacin was prescribed at a dose of 50 mg, twice a day, orally, for 5 days
We report four cases of hemicrania continua and a patient suffering chronic paroxysmal hemicrania completely responsive to celecoxib
Amazingly it worked after two days of 50mg four times a day headache gone
At the peak of a cluster the headaches occurred up to twenty times a day
Indomethacin is known to be specifically effective for chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, episodic paroxysmal hemicrania, and hemicrania continua
