Objective: To examine the preventive effects of dextroamphetamine in select small groups of patients with chronic tension-type and migraine headache.
Background: Neither amphetamine nor methylphenidate is used as a headache preventive. This study was undertaken after a chance observation led one of us to prescribe dextroamphetamine with apparent successes in specific patients with chronic tension-type or migraine headaches.
Background: Chronic headaches from head trauma and whiplash injury are well-known and common, but chronic headaches from other sorts of physical traumas are not recognized.
Methods: Specific information was obtained from the medical records of 15 consecutive patients with chronic headaches related to physically injurious traumatic events that did not include either head trauma or whiplash injury. The events and the physical injuries produced by them were noted.
