简要总结
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of rizatriptan for treating attacks of chronic post-traumatic headache.

A wide variety of pain medicines, including rizatriptan, are used to treat these headaches in clinical practice. However, the effectiveness has not been established by clinical research studies.
