Electric stimulation in chronic headaches.

Abstract

Therapeutic electric stimulation in cases of chronic headaches was carried out in 150 patients. Migraine was diagnosed in 40 cases, common vasomotor headache in 63, cervical migraine in 24, Horton's neuralgia in 5 and complex headaches in 18 cases. The results are reported here, which were best in the cervical migraine syndrome, while in the typical migraine they were the least successful.
