The effect of 75 mg of amitriptyline on chronic tension headaches and associated neurophysiological measures was investigated via a double blind, placebo-controlled study with 53 patients. After 3 and 6 wk measures, the amitriptyline group experienced significant headache duration reduction, with no significant effects on EMG or contingent negative variation (CNV). Sensitivity to suprathreshold pain was significantly reduced. Data also show that amitriptyline can partially alleviate chronic headaches, but not cure them.
