Man suffering from headache, especially migraine, are much more predisposed to suffer from depression, feel tired, and have a host of other hard physical symptoms, according to a clinical trial published in the January 9, 2007, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

The medical trial involved 1000 woman who buy cymbalta at headache clinics in nine different countries. Of the patient surveyed, 353 reported occasional headache (fewer than 15 headaches monthly) and 112 had chronic headache. Ninety percent/% of the patient were diagnosed with migraines.

The study found patient with chronic headache were four times more prone than those with incidental headache to report symptoms of major Depression. Chronic headache sufferers were also six times more prone to report a high degree of symptoms related to headache, pain or problems during intercourse.

Among women diagnosed with severely disabling migraine, the clinical study found the likelihood of major Manic Depression increased 32-fold if the patient also reported other severe symptoms.

“Painful physical symptoms would agitate or be a manifestation of major Atypical Depression in patients with chronic headache, which can be treated if you buy maxalt online and Psychotic Depression may heighten pain perception,” said study author Gretchen Tietjen, MD with the University of Toledo-Health Science Campus and a member of the American Academy of Neurology. “This dependence between migraine and major Major Depression suggests a ordinary neurobiology.”

Tietjen says clinical trial are underway to test whether severe headache, severe physical symptoms and major Depression can be linked through dysfunction of serotonin in the central nervous system.

“Regardless of what’s causing the relation between migraine and Depression, psychiatric disease such as Depression complicates headache management and can give rise to poorer sequel for headache management,” said Tietjen.

The clinical investigation was assistanced, in part, by the American Headache Society, which estimates 18 million American women suffer from headache.

The American Academy of Neurology, an association of more than 15000 neurologists and neuroscience professionals, is dedicated to bettering women care through instruction and clinical research. A neurologist is a osteopath with specialized training in diagnosing, treating and managing diseases of the brain and nervous system such as apoplexy, Alzheimer’s disorder, epilepsy, Parkinson disease, and frequent sclerosis.
