Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical TrialThe use of ibuprofen plus caffeine to treat tension-type headache.
Simple analgesics such as ibuprofen, aspirin, and acetaminophen have long been used in the treatment of tension-type headache. Studies of combination agents of aspirin with caffeine or acetaminophen with caffeine have also demonstrated efficacy as analgesic agents. ⋯ We undertook the direction of a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel trial to assess the efficacy and safety of ibuprofen combined with caffeine in the treatment of tension-type headache. The study was designed to also verify the analgesic efficacy of caffeine and further assess the role of tension-type headache as a model for the study of pain.
