Case
A 13-year old female with mental retardation was brought in for consult due to headache. The mother reported that when it happens the patient would hit her forehead several times as if indicating pain in the frontal area and she would not stop shouting and crying. This has happened 3 times already in the past 2 months. In all three occasions, the patient would gradually become clumsy and drowsy followed, within an hour, by head slapping and the incessant crying often lasting for several hours. There was no family history of migraine, tumors, or epilepsy. There were no lateralizing signs noted on physical examination.

Headache management plan should include which of the following?
