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. == See also == * [[Headache]] * [[Tension headaches]] * [[Migraine]] * [[Rebound headaches]] * [[Cluster headache]] * [[hemicrania continua]] * [[Trigeminal neuralgia]] [[Category:Headaches]] {{disease-stub}} [[de:Paroxysmale Hemikranie]] [[nl:Chronische Paroxymale Hemicrania]] [[pl:Przewlekła napadowa hemikrania]]
