Abstract
The article discusses a study on the influence of ictal cutaneous allodynia (CA) on the response to treatment with occipital transcutaneous electrical stimulation (OTES) in chronic migraine (CM) and chronic tension-type headache (CTTH). The study involved 160 patients with CM or CTTH who were treated with real or sham OTES. The results showed a significant difference responders in real OTES compared with patents in sham OTES.
