Abstract: The present invention relates to, among other things, methods for treating trigeminal cephalgias such as migraine and migraine like headaches and other cerbrovascular conditions associated with pain and or inflammation. When non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ketoprofen, are applied locally using specific topical formulations immediate relief of pain is obtained. Intense pain is typically reduced to mild pain or no pain within 30 minutes of application of the topical formulation. The NSAID may be given in combination with other pharmacological agents, such as vasoconstrictors, opioids, decongestants and/or non-opioid migraine drugs, such as triptans and ergots an agents than affect serotonin receptors as agonists, antagonists or partial agonists. Drugs are delivered locally, targeting the nerve endings of the trigeminal nerve, as well as the occipital nerve and the intranasal terminals of the parasympathetic fibers originating in the Sphenopalatine ganglion.
