Nummular Headache: 2 Cases With Good Beta Blocker Responses and a Narrative Review.

CONCLUSIONS: NH can be a disabling headache in more than half of identified patients and requires medical intervention. As with the previous treatment recommendations, gabapentin was the most commonly used prophylactic with a good response. Our cases suggested that β-adrenergic blockers could be a therapeutic option for NH patients with focal trophic changes within the areas.
