If subanesthetic doses of propofol are found to be effective in reducing chronic daily headache we become armed with a relatively safe non- narcotic intervention for this extremely disabling disorder that could be provided at a variety of centres e.g., emergency rooms, pain clinics, neurological facilities. In view of the reluctance by some emergency departments to administer narcotics for chronic headache we speculate that emergency departments may be more willing to provide this treatment than narcotics.44
