Title: Fresh Research - Nothing Exciting
Post by floridian on Nov 18^th, 2003, 1:13pm

2 new articles on Pubmed, neither with any groundbreaking content.

Quote:

1: Gentile S, Lo Giudice R, Ferrero M, Pinessi L.
Abstract Differential diagnosis of headache in a neurological department.
Panminerva Med. 2003 Sep;45(3):203-9.

Analysis: Cluster headaches listed as on of "the 3" types of headaches. Most headaches not caused by life threatening condition, but docs should check to make sure.

2: Lisotto C, Mainardi F, Maggioni F, Zanchin G.
Hemicrania continua with contralateral episodic cluster headache: a case report.
Cephalalgia. 2003 Nov;23(9):929-30. No abstract available.

Analysis: no abstract, but hemicrania continua has symptoms similar to CH (except photophobia is the norm) and usually responds to indomethacin. Link to info on hemicrania at http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/hemicrania_continua.htm
