摘要：

Seven patients with posttraumatic headaches refractory to other medical treatment were treated with sumatriptan, 6 mg subcutaneously, at the peak of a headache. In all, the throbbing temporal part of the headache disappeared leaving a persistent occipital pain. It is postulated that involvement of the trigeminovascular system is involved in part of the pain of posttraumatic headache, making it amenable to treatment with sumatriptan.
