Case report reveals daily sumatriptan sustains ergotamine-induced headache in a migraine sufferer, indicating cross-tolerance in medication overuse.

Key Points

To document whether transitioning from ergotamine to daily sumatriptan resolves or maintains medication-induced chronic daily headache in a migraine patient.
Documented a single clinical case of a migraine patient presenting with ergotamine-induced daily headache.
Assessed symptom evolution following the replacement of ergotamine with daily oral sumatriptan (100 mg p.o.).
Baseline features of ergotamine-induced headache remained unaltered following substitution with daily oral sumatriptan.
Superimposed migraine-like attacks manifested predictably every 24 hours during daily sumatriptan treatment.
