"A parallel, randomized, double-blind trial is reported, in which 78 patients with chronic tension-type headaches were treated with L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) (n = 43) or placebo (n = 35) for 8 weeks, after a washout period of 2 weeks and with a follow-up period of a further 2 weeks."9.09L-5-Hydroxytryptophan in the prophylaxis of chronic tension-type headache: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. For the Portuguese Head Society. ( Ribeiro, CA, 2000)
"Interictal serum levels of serotonin and plasma and mononuclear cell concentrations of beta-endorphin were measured in 20 juvenile patients (13 suffering from migraine without aura and 7 from episodic tension-type headache) before and after 3 months of L-5-hydroxytryptophan treatment (5 mg/kg/day) and compared with a control group of 17 headache-free healthy subjects."9.08beta-endorphin in plasma and monocytes in juvenile headache.
