The Effect of Intravenous Verapamil on Cerebral Hemodynamics in a Migraine Patient with Hemiplegia

Abstract

Intravenous verapamil appears to reverse the vasospasm that may be associated with a migrainous process. Whether this effect is solely responsible for clinical improvement is not known. Verapamil may be a consideration for the treatment of intractable migraine, especially when there is evidence of spasm of the major cerebral arteries.
