Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To observe the role of nimodipine combined with flunarizine on angioneurotic headache. METHODS: Altogether 101 patients with angioneurotic headache were divided into the control group (CG, n=51) and the therapy group (TG, n=50). Patients in the CG were given nimodipine, while patients in the TG were given flunarizine on the basis of nimodipine. The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of patients were observed. RESULTS: After treatment, the Visual analog scale (VAS) scores of the TG were markedly lower than those in the CG, and the number of attacks and headache duration of patients in the TG were also markedly reduced. Observation of the clinical efficacy showed that the effective rate of the TG was markedly higher than that of the CG, but no additional adverse reactions were found. In addition, after treatment, the cerebral hemodynamics and quality of life of patients were improved. CONCLUSION: Nimodipine combined with flunarizine can better promote the recovery of patients with angioneurotic headache and improve their quality of life. AJTR
