Platelet monoamine oxidase activity in male migrainous and cluster headache patients was significantly lower than in male controls, confirming our previous study. The activity range showed a normal distribution and low mean values could not be attributed to a subgroup with particularly low activity.
Cavernous sinus (CS) dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) patients presenting with only headache as an initial symptom are not common. Patients with CS-dAVF commonly present with symptoms related to their eyes. In all three patients, headache was the initial symptom. Other symptoms related to the eyes
BACKGROUND
Many hypertensive patients require combination therapy to achieve target blood pressure (BP). beta-Blockers and dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are effective as monotherapy in hypertensive patients and have complementary mechanisms for lowering BP.
METHODS
This multicenter,
OBJECTIVE
To compare the safety and efficacy of isometheptene mucate, dichloralphenazone with acetaminophen to sumatriptan succinate for the treatment of mild-to-moderate migraine, with or without aura, when taken at the first sign of an attack.
BACKGROUND
The Food and Drug Administration approved
Sumatriptan succinate (SMT) was a highly specific 5-HT1-receptor agonist. It showed high affinity only for 5-HT but no affinity for other neurotransmitter receptors such as muscarinic, dopamine D1, D2, adrenergic alpha 1, alpha 2, and beta. Furthermore, it was highly selective for 5-HT1B/1D-receptor
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are promising agents for the prevention of migraine and other head pain. Migraine and epilepsy share several clinical features and respond to many of the same pharmacologic agents, suggesting that similar mechanisms may be involved in their pathophysiology. The mechanisms
OBJECTIVE
Sumatriptan succinate is a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine-1 receptor agonist effective in the acute treatment of migraine headaches, having low bioavailability of about 15% orally due to first-pass metabolism. The purpose of this research was to mask the intensely bitter taste of
Pheochromocytoma is a tumor that originates from the adrenal cortex and sympathetic chains. Most pheochromocytomas are sporadic, whereas others occur as hereditary syndromes. Familial pheochromocytoma has been frequently found in association with various mutations in genes of the succinate
Frovatriptan succinate is one of the most recent serotonin receptor agonists to receive FDA, approved labelling for use in the acute management of migraine with or without aura in adults. The mechanism of action of frovatriptan is thought to be similar to that of a serotonin agonist. However,
Migraines, migraine variants, and other headache types often present for the first time during childhood; they require follow-up and, when appropriate, further investigation. Management of migraine should include a discussion of therapeutic goals with patients and parents. Appropriate medications
BACKGROUND
Because a patient's migraines often differ in duration, intensity, and accompanying symptoms, as well as the conditions and circumstances at the time of the headache, the mode for treatment also may change.
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to determine whether migraine management is
Several studies have shown that patients with succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) mutations have a very high risk for developing malignant paragangliomas. However, there is no consensus of what age screening for paragangliomas should start. We report a case of an 8-year-old white girl with a
The pharmacokinetic profile of solifenacin succinate (YM905; Vesicare), a new once-daily bladder-selective muscarinic receptor antagonist, was examined in 2 controlled trials of healthy young men. A single-dose study evaluated 5-, 10-, 20-, 40-, 60-, 80-, and 100-mg doses. A multidose study
Floating pulsatile is combined approach designed according to circadian rhythm to deliver the drug at right time, in right quantity and at right site as per pathophysiological need of disease with prolong gastric residence and lag phase followed by burst release. As the migraine follows circadian
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a single night-time dose of a syrup containing paracetamol, dextromethorphan hydrobromide, doxylamine succinate and ephedrine sulfate in subjects with multiple cold symptoms.
METHODS
A syrup containing 15 mg dextromethorphan
