This is a clinical report of a 63‐year‐old woman, with a 3‐year history of severe episodes of hypnic headache responding to low‐doses of topiramate (25 mg at bedtime). Topiramate has been used at the dosage of 100 mg/day for hypnic headache prevention in one recent case report with benefit. This report confirms the efficacy of topiramate in hypnic headache even using low‐dose regimen therapy.
