Densky, CH Pain is explained as a disagreeable feeling that can range from mild, localized soreness to severe suffering. This feeling can negatively affect career, private, and interpersonal ties. A number of treatment approaches exist, including narcotic and non-narcotic medicines, guided imagery and distraction techniques, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and hypnotherapy. The Difference between Ethanol and Trifluoroethanol By : Stephanie Larkin- There are many differences between Ethanol and Trifluoroethanol. One of the major differences in usage is that ethanol has recently been used as an alternative fuel. Although Ethanol is used as a solvent as well, Trifluoroethanol on the other hand is an organic compound that is used as a solvent in chemistry. The Role of Fluorochemicals in Agriculture By : Stephanie Larkin- Since the late 1990's, governments around the world have been bombarded with pressure from environmental groups to ban the use of fluorine-derived chemicals in drinking water, organic foods and other consumables. The Many Uses of Trifluoroacetic Acid By : Stephanie Larkin- Trifluoroacetic Acid is a chemical compound. The Trifluoroacetic Acid compound has the formula of CF3CO2H. Trifluoroacetic Acid has several notable traits that make it an extremely useful and important compound. One of them is that it is a very strong carboxylic acid. Top Applications of Fluorochemicals By : Stephanie Larkin- Fluorochemicals are chemicals that contain the element fluorine. They have numerous different applications in a variety of industries. Fluorine is becoming more widely used due to its useful chemical properties. Fluorine is a powerful oxidizing agent. It is the most electronegative of all elements, and readily forms compounds with most elements. In particular, fluorine binds strongly to carbon, forming a very stable covalent bond. A Brief History of Anesthetics By : Stephanie Larkin- Anesthetics have been used for thousands of years. In fact, the first recorded use of anesthetics was actually in the 'pre-history' era, an era of human history predating written text. Combating Labour Pains By : Don Pinder It is finally time. Your contractions are starting and you are going into labour. As you await the arrival of your special baby, the pain can turn from uncomfortable to terrible. Most of this has to do with exhaustion and a lot to do with the stretching and expanding of your body and organs. Normal medication may not work and a lot of the stronger medication is harmful to the baby, so what can you do? Suffering From Archelles’ Tendon Problems By : Dr Adnan Siddiq The Achilles’ Tendon is probably the most powerful tendon of the body. It is a fibrous tissue which connects the lower end of calf muscles to the heel. Arthritis Pain and Joint Pain: Know Your Pain Relief Options By : Antonio LeMaire Arthritis Pain & Joint Pain Relief Treatments The Value of Good Health By : Rachel Lukasavige Most people have a hard time investing time and money in something that does not produce a tangible return. When we are unable to see the results of the efforts we make, it may be hard to stay motivated to work toward our goal. This happens frequently with health, as many of the investments we make today are not realized until later in life. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome By : Kate Brothers You may be sleeping at night or maybe working at your keyboard and suddenly an arrow of fire shoots through your fingers, blazes through your wrists, and travels up your arm, ending in your elbow. Your fingers tingle at the impact and then the wrist and the fingers become numb. Yoga for Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Stretching, breathing, bending—none of these activities sound good to a migraineur in the throes of a headache, but they should. Using White Noise to Treat Migraine Symptoms By : Li Ming Wong Phonophobia, an extreme sensitivity to noise is one of the most unpleasant side effects of migraine headaches. Doctors can’t help with this sensitivity, but there is hope. The phonophobia most migraine patients experience is particularly sensitive to very loud noises or sudden noises. White noise can help. Transformed Migraine By : Li Ming Wong Migraine headaches bring some of the most excruciating pain a person will ever know. Many migraineurs say the only good thing about a migraine is the relief, sometimes even euphoria, they feel when the headache is over. Knowing that a good feeling is waiting on the other side is the only thing that helps some of them get through the pain. Toradol - When Migraine Pain Won’t Stop By : Li Ming Wong Doctors give migraineurs medications to reduce the frequency or duration of their headaches, and some to stop the pain when they feel a headache coming on. Sometimes, though, the pain is resistant and heavy-duty pain medications are needed. Thermal Biofeedback and Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Thermal biofeedback is an effective technique used by many migraine patients to reduce the pain intensity and frequency of their headaches. This is especially true of pediatric migraineurs, particularly those who have entered puberty. The High Price of Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Migraines are expensive. Recent studies show that the chronic, debilitating headaches have a high cost not just for the sufferer, but for their family, and, surprisingly, their employer as well. Smoking and Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Is there a connection between smoking and migraines? Running into Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Exercise is good for you. Being fit will help your whole body feel better, including your migraines, right? So why did your headache specialist just tell you to drop out of this weekend’s 10K if you want to be able to go to work on Monday? Riboflavin for Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Correcting dietary insufficiencies may help reduce headache frequency for migraineurs. Many migraineurs find relief by adding vitamin supplements to their daily regimen. Reflexology for Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Say the word migraine and most migraineurs will reflexively cringe in remembered pain, their last headache still vivid in their memory. Say the word reflexology to them and you will likely get a blank stare. A recent (2006) study in Denmark indicates that migraineurs who get more familiar with reflexology are less likely to cringe reflexively at the mention of migraines. Prophylactic Migraine Medications By : Li Ming Wong Doctors sometimes prescribe a daily medication to reduce the duration and frequency of migraine attacks. These medications are called prophylactic or preventive therapy. There are several classes of drugs approved for use as prophylactic migraine treatments. Poison the Pain – Botox for Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Botox can make you look better. Did you know it could also make you feel better? Moreover, we are not just talking about self-esteem here. Migraineurs looking to smooth out some wrinkles in their foreheads discovered a happy side effect of the cosmetic treatment—fewer migraines. Pediatric Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Children get migraines, too, they are not a condition confined to adulthood.. Studies have even indicated that infants may get migraines, but this is hard to verify. Online Resources for Migraineurs By : Li Ming Wong Many migraineurs feel very alone in their still misunderstood suffering, but they are not alone. There are a number of support groups where migraine sufferers can find understanding, information resources, and encouragement. Non-Drug Treatment for Pediatric Migraine By : Li Ming Wong The last thing most parents want to do is give their child a drug. Yet, when that child is a migraineur (a person with chronic migraine headaches), as are a reported 10-28% of children under the age of 19, many feel they have no choice. Neurostimulator Implants and Migraines By : Li Ming Wong One out of every eight people suffers from migraine headaches. There is currently no treatment available to eliminate the condition; doctors merely help patients manage the symptoms. A new treatment is being tested that may offer more pain relief than any other method to date for migraine sufferers. Migraines and Rebound Headaches By : Li Ming Wong A rebound headache, also known as a medication overuse headache, is one of the most unpleasant side effects of migraines for many sufferers. These headaches are often blindingly painful, and are sometimes migraines in their own right. Migraines and PMS By : Li Ming Wong No one knows exactly what causes migraine headaches, or even what happens in the body and brain when someone has one. One thing that is known, however, is that three times as many women as men have migraines. Many female migraineurs will also confess that their headaches are likely to coincide with the period just before their menstrual period. Migraines and Obesity By : Li Ming Wong Are you more likely to have migraines if you are obese? Migraines and Insomnia By : Li Ming Wong A bout of insomnia will often bring on a migraine in someone prone to them. Having a migraine will often lead to insomnia. It sounds like a vicious cycle, and, for some migraineurs, it can be. Migraines and Depression By : Li Ming Wong Being in pain so fierce that the only recourse is to hide in a dark, quiet room until it is over several times a year would make anyone sad. Migraineurs, though, are five times more likely to develop clinical depression than people who do not have these debilitating headaches. Conversely, people who are depressed are three times likelier than happy people to become migraineurs. Migraines and Caffeine By : Li Ming Wong Migraineurs have a love-hate relationship with caffeine. For many, the vasoconstrictor helps alleviate their migraine pain. For an equal number, the chemical is a migraine headache trigger. The relationship between caffeine and migraines is anything but straightforward. Migraine Trigger Elimination Dieting By : Li Ming Wong Science can’t explain why so many migraineurs claim that there is a link between certain foods or beverages and their headaches, but they do. Sadly, the food triggers are different for each migraine sufferer—it’s not like someone who needs to lower their cholesterol and the doctor tells them to eat egg whites and lose the bacon, migraineurs have to figure out their triggers on their own. The best way to do this is with an elimination diet. Migraine Stages By : Li Ming Wong Migraines develop in four stages. Patients with migraines with aura, also known as classic migraines, are most likely to experience all four stages. Patients who have common migraines, migraines without aura, will have the same stages, but are not consciously aware of them. The interval between migraines is sometimes referred to as the fifth stage of a migraine. Migraine Prodromes By : Li Ming Wong A migraine prodrome is a premonition or advance warning that a migraine is coming on. Prodromes can occur anywhere from a few minutes before the onset of a headache to days prior. While no one knows the specific cause of migraine prodromes, the prevailing theory is that they are part of neurochemical change in the brain that occurs before an attack. Approximately 60% of all migraineurs (people who have chronic migraines) experience some type of prodrome. Migraine Myths By : Li Ming Wong There are a number of commonly held beliefs about migraines that make it hard for sufferers to get proper diagnosis and treatment. Migraine Criteria By : Li Ming Wong The Classification Subcommittee of the International Headache Society (IHS) publishes and revises the “International Classification of Headache Disorders”, now in its second edition. This book offers specific diagnostic criteria for diagnosing migraines and is currently used worldwide. Migraine Auras By : Li Ming Wong A migraine aura is a specific type of prodrome, or premonition, that heralds a migraine. It is a symptom or series of symptoms that let migraineurs, people who suffer from chronic migraines, know in advance that a migraine headache is about to make itself felt. Migraine Abortive Medications By : Li Ming Wong Doctors prescribe two types of migraine medications. One type is designed to help stop a migraine that has already begun. This is called abortive therapy and these drugs work best when taken as soon as the headache begins. The other type is a daily medication designed to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks. This type of medication is called prophylactic or preventive therapy. Lifestyle Change for Natural Migraine Prevention By : Li Ming Wong Migraine sufferers are turning to non-pharmacological options to reduce the number of headaches they have. Prophylactic drugs aimed at migraine prevention can have many unpleasant side effects and do not work at all for some migraineurs (people who have chronic migraines). Hypnotic Migraine Relief By : Li Ming Wong Hypnosis is not just an entertainer’s trick to please and amuse crowds. Hypnotherapists are helping migraineurs ease their pain. Sometimes they are even able to relieve other migraine symptoms like vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound, too. Home for Headaches By : Li Ming Wong When a migraine strikes, many migraineurs head for home and settle in to wait out the excruciating headache. This may be the problem. While current genetic studies of rare migraines types show the condition to be about sixty percent inherited, the other forty is environmental. If someone already prone to migraines is exposed to an environmental trigger, fireworks, or at least a few prodromal symptoms, will ensue. Hemiplegic Migraine By : Li Ming Wong There are a number of different types of migraine headaches, including both the classic and common migraine. One particularly rare type of migraine is the hemiplegic migraine. Genetic Research into Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Migraine headaches are a huge health problem. In a 2004 report, the World Health Organization (WHO) called migraines and headache disorders a global public health calamity. Migraines and other chronic headache conditions are disabling. Finding a Migraine Doctor By : Li Ming Wong You have severe, debilitating headaches that cause you to vomit and huddle in a dark room for hours waiting for them to go away. Chances are they are migraines. The only way to know for sure, and start on the path to managing your condition if they are migraines, is to be properly diagnosed. Fewer Migraines with Feverfew By : Li Ming Wong Migraineurs (people who suffer from chronic or episodic migraine headaches) are looking for headache relief that doesn’t come from a drug lab. All too often pharmaceutical migraine solutions have unpleasant side effects, including, ironically enough, headache. Exercise to Ease Migraines By : Li Ming Wong The relationship between exercise and migraines is quixotic. Science says that exercise, by promoting the regular release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain controllers, should help ease the frequency and severity of migraines. Many migraineurs claim that their attacks are triggered by physical exertion. Who is right? Common Migraine Food Triggers By : Li Ming Wong No one knows for sure what causes migraine headaches. The most likely to answer to-date is that a serious of small irritations or reactions pile up until, finally, a migraine headache is triggered. Migraine triggers are different for each individual, but many migraineurs claim that a particular food or combination of foods will push them over the edge into a headache. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Some migraineurs are fortunate enough to experience prodromal symptoms that let them know a migraine is coming. It isn’t much, but it allows them to plan for the down time they know they are about to enter into. A migraineur who has learned cognitive behavioral therapy can utilize the same prodromal symptoms to short circuit their migraine headache. Chiropractic Care for Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive way to relieve migraine suffering without the use of medication. Chiropractic migraine treatment is not for everyone, but it may be particularly useful for patients who cannot use prescription medication due to other risk factors. Butterbur for Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Migraineurs would prefer not to have migraines at all. If headache cannot be eliminated, reducing the number of migraine episodes they experience would certainly be an improvement. It would be even better if it could be done without synthetic pharmacologicals. Basilar Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Migraines can be more than just a pain in the head. Basilar migraines, once known as basilar artery migraines or BAMs, are an extraordinarily rare but potentially life-threatening variant of the classic migraine with aura. Balancing Chakras to Soothe Migraines By : Li Ming Wong The word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel. The chakras are the seven primary distribution points for the energy in the body that run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. They are also called the psychic centers of consciousness. Migraines may be a side effect of a blocked chakra or unbalanced chakras. Migraine can be eased, and possibly cured, without the aid of the prescription drugs by clearing and balancing the migraineurs chakras. Aromatherapy and Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Most physicians agree that aromatherapy makes an excellent complementary therapy for migraineurs. Aromatherapy has not been shown to eliminate migraine headaches, but when used to complement traditional therapy and medication it can reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. Are You In or Out? By : Li Ming Wong You have a migraine. You have a job. Now what do you do? Applying Heat or Cold for Migraine Relief By : Li Ming Wong Many migraineurs (people who suffer from migraine headaches) relieve the pain of a migraine with the judicious application of heat or cold. This type of pain abatement is particularly popular with people trying to minimize or avoid prescription medication use, especially among pediatric patients and their families. Aging and Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Aging is a fact of life. Getting older means increasing frailty and susceptibility to illness, but it can also be a boon to migraineurs (people who experience migraine headaches). Only 2-10% of the elderly population experiences migraines (as opposed to up to 28% of adults under 65), and elderly women are still more likely to have them than their male counterparts. Acupuncture for Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Acupuncture is one of the oldest medical techniques in the world, practiced in China for over 2,000 years. It is a FDA-approved treatment modality for a number of illnesses, especially pain management and chronic pain, and is particularly effective in treating migraines. Acupressure and Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Acupressure is a completely non-invasive treatment option that has a high success rate among migraineurs (people who suffer from migraine headaches). It has a proven track record as a successful pain abatement technique. Acupressure is also efficacious in reducing both the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks. Abdominal Migraines By : Li Ming Wong Anyone who has ever had a migraine will say they do not just happen in the head. The headache is usually the worst and most painful part of a migraine, but there’s more. Most migraineurs (people who suffer from migraines) will talk about photosensitivity (sensitivity to light), phonosensitivity (sensitivity to sound), scent sensitivity, gastric pain, cramping, and vomiting.
