Abstract

Subcutaneous sumatriptan, a 5HT agonist, is the most effective drug in cluster headache acute treatment. About 25% of the patients do not respond to subcutaneous sumatriptan; the reasons for this are unknown. In this study, we compare clinical characteristics of cluster headache patients responding and non-responding to subcutaneous sumatriptan.
