摘要：
Background and Objectives: Cluster headache is an uncommon debilitating condition for which effective management remains a challenge. We describe the use of gabapentin in the treatment and prophylaxis of cluster headache in a patient who was refractory to other treatments. Case Report: A 38-year-old man had a history of intermittent right-side headaches for 24 years, diagnosed as cluster headache. He received only partial relief from a range of conventional treatments. A trial with gabapentin 300 mg twice daily was tried and found to be effective in treatment and prophylaxis of his headaches. Conclusion: Gabapentin was effective in the treatment of a patient with cluster headache. Further investigation of gabapentin compared with conventional treatments and placebo is warranted.
