Medical Research Breakthroughs and Headache

Circadin for insomnia: Circadin(R), the first melatonin agent approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), is now available for the treatment of primary insomnia. Circadin, sustained-release melatonin, provides natural sleep by increasing the body's own level of this naturally occurring hormone throughout the night. Unlike existing sleep medications, it is not associated with problems such as dependency and poor next day functioning. The trials showed that almost half of patients taking Circadin experienced a significant improvement in quality of sleep, and nearly 40% improved on morning alertness, as measured by the Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire. Other study endpoints included sleep latency (or time to get to sleep), and a clinically significant reduction in time was found in the Circadin group, similar to that of traditional sleep medications. Circadin mode of action avoids side effects associated with traditional sleep treatments. Clinical studies with Circadin have not shown any risk of rebound insomnia nor any impairment on memory or psychomotor functioning at any point after dosing. Circadin has a positive safety profile and in clinical studies the incidence of adverse events with Circadin was low and even less than with placebo. Adverse effects were generally mild and infrequent and those reported included headache, sore throat, back pain and generalised feelings of weakness. Hence Circadin has heralded a new phase in the treatment of insomnia.

Cure Research discussion for Headache:

One theory of headaches is that people who suffer from severe headache and other types of chronic pain have lower levels of endorphins than people who are generally pain free. Thermography is an experimental technique for diagnosing headache. In thermography, an infrared camera converts skin temperature into a color picture, or thermogram, with different degrees of heat appearing as different colors. Researchers have found that thermograms of headache patients show strikingly different heat patterns from those of people who never or rarely get headaches.
