Abstract
Headache is a common adverse effect of electroconvulsive therapy. The analgesic medications acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, muscle relaxants, or narcotics usually produce only short-term benefit. Topiramate was an effective therapy for a post-electroconvulsive therapy headache that did not respond to typical pain medicines.
