Tiapride, which belongs to the anisamide family, has an anti-dopaminergic effect, mainly on the mesolimbic system but also directly at the vascular level. A controlled trial was performed in 25 patients suffering from intractable migraine or facial vascular pain. Results were excellent in ten cases. Prescription of tiapride is therefore advised whenever usual therapy has failed.
