Reading the medical info page, I certainly like the compact information. I did note that the latest research noted was from 1987. Call me crazy, but I actually think augmenting this page with research from 20 years later, covering numerous drugs and procedures that weren't around back then is a good and positive idea.
Chris, thanks for posting the link. I'm sure it has lot's of info in it for CH.
You may have found few Wiley articles, but there have been many links and abstracts posted here on the Meds board, and the Cluster Headache Specific board from other sources, all very good reading, and very informative.
When having to pay for an article, one thing to consider is the fact that these articles are copyrighted, and cannot be posted without permission.
You can search here for a specific treatment, I'm sure there has been a link posted that relates to it.
The OUCH website has a wealth of articles about CH treatment that have been posted there with permission. Check it out.
You are right, the medical info page probably needs to be updated. While the info for the meds listed there is still true, there are many others that we use now that weren't used then.

Michael, you are right, there is a lot of info available on the internet regarding CH. Most of the newbies who come here are looking for answers, and you know that CH.com has the latest info on medicine, and treatments for cluster headaches. I think (I'm just guessing here and not trying to speak for anyone) the reason most links and articles are posted are for new people who don't know what to do, or what to tell their doctors. They are told to print off the articles to take to their docs, or to read an abstract for their own information. I don't think anyone is trying to re-invent the wheel. If no one posted links to the articles they found, we'd be with less information.
Hope you are healing up well from your surgery, and I hope you are ale to control your CH well, with the stimulator.
