The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled patients between 18 and 65 years old at 10 specialized headache centers in Germany who experienced episodic cluster headaches. Patients received either 100-mg oral prednisone for 5 days followed by tapering by 20 mg every 3 days or matching placebo. All patients received oral verapamil for long-term prevention, starting with 40 mg three times daily and increasing to 120 mg three times daily by day 19.
