Diphenhydramine: A histamine H1 antagonist used as an antiemetic, antitussive, for dermatoses and pruritus, for hypersensitivity reactions, as a hypnotic, an antiparkinson, and as an ingredient in common cold preparations. It has some undesired antimuscarinic and sedative effects.
diphenhydramine : An ether that is the benzhydryl ether of 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol. It is a H1-receptor antagonist used as a antipruritic and antitussive drug.
antitussive : An agent that suppresses cough. Antitussives have a central or a peripheral action on the cough reflex, or a combination of both. Compare with expectorants, which are considered to increase the volume of secretions in the respiratory tract, so facilitating their removal by ciliary action and coughing, and mucolytics, which decrease the viscosity of mucus, facilitating its removal by ciliary action and expectoration.

Trial Outcomes

Number of Participants Needing Rescue Medication as Assessed by Questionnaire

Data collected by telephone. Patients were asked if they needed additional medication after discharge in order to reduce level of pain. This additional medication is considered rescue medication. (NCT02389829)
Timeframe: 48 hours after discharge from Emergency Department

Number of Participants Who Achieved Short Term Headache Freedom; Assessed by Telephone Questionnaire

Participants were asked to evaluate pain status since discharge. Participants who achieved total headache freedom for at least 1 hour are considered to achieve short term headache relief. (NCT02389829)
Timeframe: 48 hours after discharge from Emergency Department

Number of Participants Who Achieved Short Term Headache Relief, Assessed by Telphone Questionnaire

"Participants were asked to make evaluation of pain status since discharge. Those achieving headache level mild or none for 1 hour are considered to achieve short term headache relief." (NCT02389829)
Timeframe: 48 hours after discharge from Emergency Department

Number of Participants With Sustained Headache Relief Assessed by Self-evaluation

"Sustained headache relief is defined as achieving a headache level of mild or none within two hours and maintaining a level of mild or none for 48 hours, without use of addition medication. Patient self-evaluated pain level is solicited every half hour for two hours in the Emergency Department and then by telephone 48 hours after medication administration." (NCT02389829)
