Probable migraine was the most common type of primary headache (47.7%), followed by probable tension-type headache (37.6%), unspecified headache (11.9%), and headache not elsewhere classified (2.8%). As to characteristics of the crisis, the location of the pain was described in 86.2% of the patients. The most commonly used drugs for treatment of acute headache attacks were dipyrone (74.5%), tenoxicam (31.8%), diazepam (20.9%), dimenhydrate (10.9%), and metochlopramide (9.9%). The data collected are in agreement with those reported in literature. In most cases, treatment was not what is recommended by consensus or clinical studies with appropriate methodology. Therefore, we suggest the introduction of a specific acute headache management protocol which could facilitate the diagnosis, treatment and management of these patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0004-282x2007000700007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,16]],"date-time":"2007-11-16T03:48:13Z","timestamp":1195184893000},"page":"1130-1133","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Clinical
