Comparing the Effect of Heat and Cold Therapy on the Intensity of Nitrate Induced Migraine Type Headache in Cardiac Inpatients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated applying heat and cold therapy may reduce the intensity of nitrate induced migraine type headache in cardiac inpatients. Considering this fact that approximately 10% of patients cannot tolerate nitrate therapies due to unbearable headache, applying heat or cold therapy in patients with nitrate induced migraine type headache is recommended to improve patient's adherence to treatment.PMID:34318912 | DOI:10.14744/agri.2020.00907
