Headaches may occur in as many as 25% of hypertensive patients and generally bears little relationship to level of diastolic blood pressure. Previous observations, in normotensive patients, suggested that abnormalities in both potassium and ammonia metabolism might be related to the pathogenesis of
A conceptual approach that relates vascular headaches, bowel and bladder dysfunction to abnormalities of the "ammonia potassium axis" is presented. Hypokalemia alters smooth muscle function of both the bowel and bladder and results in the elaboration of an alkaline urine. The occurrence of an
BACKGROUND
Several clinical trials have demonstrated that low doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs relieve episodic tension-type headache (ETH).
OBJECTIVE
The aims of this placebo-controlled study were to determine whether single doses of diclofenac-K 12.5 and 25mg effectively relieve ETH
Migraine with aura is a common, debilitating, recurrent headache disorder associated with transient and reversible focal neurological symptoms. A role has been suggested for the two-pore domain (K2P) potassium channel, TWIK-related spinal cord potassium channel (TRESK, encoded by KCNK18), in pain
What Happens to the Old Headache Medicines? Rapoport AM, MD. Old headache medicines never die; they either fade away or come back in disguise. The disguise is often a new route of administration, which may work better, faster, more completely, with fewer adverse events, and/or have certain other
BACKGROUND
Migraine attacks are often treated with simple analgesics or with ergotamine-containing preparations alone or in combination with anti-emetics. Although also sometimes used to treat migraine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have not been systematically evaluated in
BACKGROUND
This review is an update of a previously published review in Issue 2, 2012 (Derry 2012a). Migraine is a common, disabling condition and a burden for the individual, health services and society. Many sufferers choose not to, or are unable to, seek professional help and rely on
The study was performed to compare the efficacy of a herbal plant, Orthosiphon grandiflorus (OG), and the drug sodium potassium citrate (SPC) in treatment of renal calculi. Forty-eight rural stone formers identified by ultrasonography were recruited and randomly assigned to two treatment groups (G1
To better understand and treat painful conditions, one needs to identify the cause, discover the source, and develop knowledge of peripheral and central pain transmission; headaches are no exception. The development of appropriate animal models is important. Accordingly, we have reviewed the
A 26-year-old woman with no prior medical history presented post-partum with altered mental status. She had no complications during pregnancy and had a spontaneous vaginal delivery at term one week prior. On post-partum day five, she began complaining of headaches, initially responsive to ibuprofen
OBJECTIVE
The progress in headache genetics, especially migraine genetics, recently jumped ahead with some major discoveries.
RESULTS
Family and epidemiological studies further strengthen the genetic contribution to migraine and two recent observations gave new molecular insights in the disease.
In recent years, research implicating biochemical abnormalities in various pathological conditions has spiralled. Headache is an area in which numerous research studies have been conducted examining biochemical alterations. We have noticed several similarities in biochemical changes reported to
BACKGROUND
Losartan potassium, an orally active, highly selective AT1 angiotensin II receptor inhibitor, effectively reduces blood pressure by direct receptor blockade, thereby lessening the likelihood of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-associated side effects such as dry cough or
