Özet:

 

Headaches are frequent and recurrent causes of emergency department visits. This study aims to  compare  the  efficacy  of  analgesic  and  non-analgesic  treatment  protocols  in  the  acute treatment  of  adult  primary  headache  patients  admitted  to  the  emergency  department.  This study  was  a  non-inferiority  trial  of  oxygen  therapy  in  primary  headache,  conducted  as prospective  cross-sectional  research  in  the  emergency  department  of  a  tertiary  university hospital.  The  pain  scales  of  the  patients  on  admission  and  at  the  end  of  treatment  were measured  twice  by  Wong-Baker  Faces  Pain  Rating  Scale.  The  treatment  effectiveness between the groups was compared statistically. A total of 215 patients were included in the study. The numbers of patients in groups were 68 patients (31.6%) in the group of intravenous metoclopramide HCl, 67 patients (31.2%) with nasal oxygen, and 80 patients (37.2%) with intravenous  paracetamol  treatment  groups.  Paracetamol,  metoclopramide,  and  oxygen therapy  were  found  similarly  effective  in  primary  headache  treatments.  Oxygen  therapy should  be  recommended  as  the  first-line  treatment  option,  because,  it  has  no  known  side effects, can be repeated if necessary and as effective as the paracetamol and metoclopramide.
