11 patients experienced 40 intrathecal injections of cytotoxic drugs during the treatment of acute leukemia. Tiapride was used as a preventive or curative therapy for headache. Results were found excellent or good in 70% of cases. Frequency and intensity of headache were reduced by half. Tiapride seems more effective in early headache than in cephalalgia occuring later.
