Stop Medication Overuse To Change Transformed Migraine
Data from a study released this month in Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, confirms once again a major point we've discussed about transformed Migraine. When overuse is stopped, there is significant improvement in headache frequency and transformed Migraine reverts back to episodic Migraine without chronic daily headache.

Migraine With Aura Linked To Cardiovascular Disease
A new study shows compelling evidence of increased risk of cardiovascular disease in women over 45 with Migraine with aura, but not Migraine without aura. The increased risk translates to 18 additional major CVD events attributable to Migraine with aura per 10,000 women per year.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Short-Circuiting Migraines?
Researchers at the Ohio State University have completed a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study testing the use of a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device to abort Migraine with aura. The findings of their study were presented at the 48th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Headache Society (AHS) on June 23, 2006.
