'''Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH)''', also known as '''Sjaastad syndrome''', is a [[Cluster headache|cluster-like headache]] that normally affects females. It normally consists of multiple severe yet short [[headache]] attacks. These attacks normally will only affect one side of the [[cranium]], hence the term ''hemicrania''. CPH headaches are treated with [[non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug]]s, in particular [[indomethacin]], which is usually totally effective in eliminating the symptoms.
