[Hemicrania continua: the first Japanese case report].

Abstract
A 47-year-old woman suffered from strictly unilateral headache, characterized by "jabs and jolts" and a pressing quality in temporal-parietal regions on her left side. Her headache was continuous. The pain from her headache was severe enough to prohibit her daily activities and fluctuated from moderate to severe during the daytime. After treatment with a 75 mg daily dose of indomethacin, her headache was completely resolved. Where patients with chronic daily headaches are unresponsive to standard therapies, a trial of indomethacin is warranted.
