Successful treatment of status migrainosus after electroconvulsive therapy with dihydroergotamine.

摘要

We describe a case of status migrainosus precipitated by electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) that was refractory to treatment with triptan medications but which resolved with dihydroergotamine (DHE). We briefly review some of the receptor pharmacology possibly related to this observation. (Headache 2005;45:378-391).
