There is no clinical basis for a single move to relieve neurological headaches, and current methods for relieving neurological headaches include medication and non-pharmacological relief.
1. Non-pharmacological relief: Acupuncture treatment and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation may be effective in relieving neurological headaches.
2. Pharmacological relief: Analgesics are often used to relieve neuropathic headache. Commonly used analgesics are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen and so on. Combined use of caffeine may improve the efficacy of analgesics, but it also increases the risk of substance abuse headaches. If short-term medications do not provide relief, non-pharmacologic and preventive medications may be considered. Commonly used medications for prophylaxis are tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline.
If neurological headaches occur, they should be hospitalized and treated as prescribed.
