Summary
Occasionally, episodic tension-type headache may be severe enough to require an emergency
department (ED) visit. The purpose of this study is to compare two commonly used medications
to see which is better for tension type headache. Patients who present to the ED with an
acute tension-type headache requiring treatment with injectable medication will be randomized
to metoclopramide or ketorolac.
