One of the diagnostic criteria for both HC and PH is the absolute response to the therapeutic dose of indomethacin. However, indomethacin is discontinued in many patients as a result of intolerance to its side effects. Melatonin, a pineal hormone, which shares similar chemical structure to indomethacin, has been reported to have some efficacy for HC in previous case reports and series. To our knowledge, there is no literature regarding the use of melatonin in PH. We aimed to describe the clinical use of melatonin in the preventive management of HC and PH.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Patient level data were extracted as an audit from routinely collected clinical records in consecutive patients seen in outpatient neurology clinic at King's College Hospital, London, UK, from September 2014 to April 2023.

Fourteen (61%) patients reported positive relief for headache, whereas the remaining nine (39%) patients reported no headache preventive effect. None of the patients reported that they were completely pain free. Two patients continued indomethacin and melatonin concurrently for better symptom relief. Eight patients continued melatonin as the single preventive treatment. Side effects from melatonin were rare. Twenty-two PH patients were included with mean ± SD age of 50 ± 17 years; 17 of 22 (77%) patients were female. Melatonin was given to six (27%) patients.
