A systematic search was conducted in Medline (PubMed), Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science up to the end of August 2024.

Prophylactic Cyproheptadine to Control Paroxysmal Hemicrania Attacks: A Preliminary Investigation.

Background: Paroxysmal hemicrania (PH) is a severe short-lasting headache usually localized around the eye. It might occur in conjunction with ipsilateral autonomic manifestations of trigeminal nerve stimulation. PH responds well to indomethacin treatment; however, considering the adverse effects of indomethacin, its long-term use is a matter of question and investigations about other prophylactic medications are going on, but they are inconclusive.
