sumatriptan and Tension-Type Headache

sumatriptan has been researched along with Tension-Type Headache in 17 studies

Sumatriptan: A serotonin agonist that acts selectively at 5HT1 receptors. It is used in the treatment of MIGRAINE DISORDERS.
sumatriptan : A sulfonamide that consists of N,N-dimethyltryptamine bearing an additional (N-methylsulfamoyl)methyl substituent at position 5. Selective agonist for a vascular 5-HT1 receptor subtype (probably a member of the 5-HT1D family). Used (in the form of its succinate salt) for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.

Tension-Type Headache: A common primary headache disorder, characterized by a dull, non-pulsatile, diffuse, band-like (or vice-like) PAIN of mild to moderate intensity in the HEAD; SCALP; or NECK. The subtypes are classified by frequency and severity of symptoms. There is no clear cause even though it has been associated with MUSCLE CONTRACTION and stress. (International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd ed. Cephalalgia 2004: suppl 1)

( Beach, ME; Cady, RK; Gutterman, D; Saiers, JA, 1997)
" For the acute treatment of migraine attacks or tension-type headache, ibuprofen (10 mg per kg body weight) or acetaminophen (15 mg per kg body weight) are recommended with highest evidence, intranasal sumatriptan (10 to 20 mg) can be given as second choice."4.81[Treatment of idiopathic headache in childhood - recommendations of the German Migraine and Headache Society (DMKG)]. ( Evers, S; Gerber, WD; Naumann, E; Pothmann, R; Uberall, M, 2002)
"To assess the sensitivity of 5-HT1D receptors in chronic tension-type headache using sumatriptan as a pharmacological probe."3.71Decreased sensitivity of 5-HT1D receptors in chronic tension-type headache.

"Patients reporting tension/stress headache were evaluated and diagnosed as having migraine with or without aura, probable migraine, tension-type headache, or another headache type."2.72Prevalence of migraine and response to sumatriptan in patients self-reporting tension/stress headache. ( Ames, MH; Barrett, PS; Byrd, S; Kaniecki, R; Kori, S; Ruoff, G; Smith, T, 2006)
"The patients were diagnosed with migraine based on IHS criteria but individual migraine attacks treated in the study were physician diagnosed; not necessarily required to meet IHS criteria."2.68Responsiveness of non-IHS migraine and tension-type headache to sumatriptan. ( Beach, ME; Cady, RK; Gutterman, D; Saiers, JA, 1997)
"The TACs include cluster headache, paroxysmal hemicrania, and short-lasting neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing; hemicrania continua, although classified separately by the International Headache Society, shares many features of both migraine and the TACs."2.49Primary headache disorders. ( Benoliel, R; Eliav, E, 2013)
"Headache associated with the chronic use of medications has become a significant problem in the management of headache."2.43[Medication-overuse headache]. ( Katsarava, Z; Rabe, K, 2006)
"Headaches are a common entity in the ambulatory population."2.40Diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment of headaches in the athlete. ( Kaplan, B; Swain, RA, 1997)
