Neurology Times Gives a Heads-Up on Migraine Advances
NORWALK, Conn., Jan. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Medica US announces that Neurology Times, a leading online community and information resource for neurologists and other healthcare providers, provides special coverage on advances in migraine and headache research.
Migraine affects more than 10% of persons worldwide and about 12% of Americans, including 3 times as many women as men. Fewer than half of patients are thought to have received a proper diagnosis, and there is no cure because the pathophysiology is not fully understood. Better understanding of the causes and related issues could result in enhanced patient care and prevention.
Recent developments in migraine and headache management covered on Neurology Times include the following:
- sTMS: Promising Migraine Therapy: Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a promising, effective, well-tolerated and safe treatment option for migraine with and without aura, episodic or chronic.
- Headache Imaging Can Spot Brain Tumors: Many patients with brain tumors present with isolated headaches but no other symptoms. Should neuroimaging be used to help the diagnosis? Researchers address the pros and cons.
- Migraine May Double Bell Palsy Risk: This is a newly identified association between the conditions, and they may share a common underlying link. More research could lead to better treatments.
- 5 Headache Headlines from 2014: Medication-overuse headache, chronic migraine, obesity and headache, migraine in children, thunderclap headache—these review articles published in 2014 cover a variety of critical issues.
