In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, the effect of 75 mg of a slow-release formulation of amitriptyline on the clinical severity of chronic tension-type headache and on headache-associated neurophysiological parameters (EMG activity, exteroceptive suppression of temporal muscle activity, contingent negative variation (CNV) and experimental pain sensitivity) was investigated. All of the patients treated had a history of headaches of many years' standing and many of them had failed attempts at treatment.

All of the patients treated had a history of headaches of many years standing, and numerous failed attempts at treatment. In the amitriptyline group, a significant reduction in daily headache duration was already found in the third week of treatment, while in the placebo group no significant changes in headache duration were to be seen.
