- Abstract
Although the tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline is extensively used in the prophylactic treatment of chronic tension-type headache, only few studies have investigated the efficacy of this treatment and the results are contradictory. In addition, the new selective serotonin reuptake inhibiting antidepressants, which are widely used in depression and of potential value in pain management, have never been investigated in a placebo controlled study of tension-type headache. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of amitriptyline and of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram in chronic tension-type headache.
