Abstract

A follow-up study (3.2 years) of 56 patients with chronic cluster headache who had had no remissions for at least a year. They were treated with lithium carbonate, methysergide and prednisone singly and in combination. An assessment of the therapeutic benefits is followed by a discussion on the course of chronic cluster headache.
