Propofol addiction after treatment of refractory migraine

Abstract

Propofol is a potent intravenous anesthetic agent that rapidly induces sedation. Recently it has been considered as a treatment option for refractory headaches.We report a case of 38 years of female who has received propofol treatment for her refractory headaches and severe dependence on propofol has occured. She had excessive withdrawal symptoms after discontinuing propofol and was succesfully treated. The abuse and dependency potential of propofol has recently been recognized and several cases of suicide have emerged. Although intravenous propofol is an efficacious treatment for patients with refractory headaches, the severe dependency and abuse potential must be taken into consideration.
