It's used for one of the minor variants of CH but not the usual CH (common variety). Works quickly and you will know in a few days whether it works for you.

If you end up using it for months, doc will guide you on how to protect your stomach from damage.

Like Bob said, it's used to treat chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) but usually does nothing for CH.

As above -
one of the older non-steroidal anti-inflammatories - great for gout and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania. 
Not usually helpful for CH.

Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear... 'The Terminator' AKA CH
