Metoclopramide Versus Ketorolac for Tension-type Headache

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Headache

In brief

Occasionally, episodic tension-type headache may be severe enough to require an emergency department (ED) visit. The purpose of this study is to compare two commonly used medications to see which is better for tension type headache. Patients who present to the ED with an acute tension-type headache requiring treatment with injectable medication will be randomized to metoclopramide or ketorolac.
