Abstract
A 27-year-old woman receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for the treatment of depression developed post-ECT headaches refractory to treatment with acetaminophen and various nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. The patient was then treated successfully with oral sumatriptan. This case suggests that sumatriptan may be a useful treatment of post-ECT headaches that are unresponsive to conventional analgesics.Entities:
