The described diagnostic and therapeutic strategies include the newest, state of the art approaches. Further aspects of migraine that are considered include hyperexcitability in the brain and the triad of migraine, dizziness and anxiety. In addition, the imaging of migraine, and of vestibular migraine in particular, is discussed and clinical records are reported.

Download or read book Brain and Heart Dynamics written by Stefano Govoni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious and comprehensive handbook represents an essential contribution to our current understanding of interactions between heart and brain, a research topic generating growing interest. Despite the increasing awareness that neural mechanisms are the primary cause of cardiac disease and its progression, therapy continues to focus on end-organ protection and does not approach the neural core of the problem. Growing public health problems such as heart failure are still treated with autonomic drugs that are 30-40 years old and simply act on cardiac receptors. However, it has now been shown that the progression of ischemic heart disease to heart failure is mainly due to abnormal central responses to incipient cardiac disease, with neural activation the primary cause rather than the consequence of cardiac remodeling. Written by leading international experts in their respective research areas, the book presents a variety of perspectives on the core topic: from social and philosophical to gender-related aspects. It is designed for a broad readership and includes dedicated sections for cardiologists, psychiatrists, neurologists and psychotherapists looking for a more insightful and targeted approach to neuro-cardiovascular disease.
Download or read book Handbook of Headache written by Paolo Martelletti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-14 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Headache disorders are among the most common disorders of the nervous system. They are pandemic and, in many cases, they are recurrent and can accompany the patient for the whole life. These disorders impose a substantial burden on headache sufferers, on their families and on society: the individual impact is measured by the frequency and severity of attacks, while the societal burden is measured in terms of loss of activity at work and school as well as of costs for the health system. As a matter of facts, headaches are ranked in the top ten, and maybe the top five, causes of disability worldwide: they are therefore extraordinarily common. Population-based studies have mostly focused on migraine, which, even if it is the most frequently studied headache disorder, is not the most common . Other types of headache, such as the more prevalent TTH and sub-types of the more disabling chronic daily headache, have so far received less attention and need to be better investigated. This book will provide a useful tool to a wide medical population, who is required specific skills to diagnose and manage these frequent and often disabling disorders .Furthermore, it could also represents a compendium for medical students who are usually introduced to this topic through multidisciplinary university programmes.

Download or read book Inventing Pain Medicine written by Isabelle Baszanger and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain is a pervasive subject in our culture--especially as something to be combatted and conquered. One need only open a magazine or turn on the radio or television to become aware of this fact. But is the widespread interest in pain merely a passing fad or does it reflect the emergence of a new relationship between pain and medicine? Inventing Pain Medicine explores the current state of pain medicine against the background of its historical development. Based on extensive field research, Isabelle Baszanger's study outlines the first tentative steps to control pain taken in the last years of World War II when a young American anesthesiologist, John J. Bonica, made alleviating the pain of wounded soldiers his mission. Baszanger traces Bonica's protracted pioneering struggle for recognition of pain as worthy of medical attention in itself, for a definition of pain as more than a diagnostic tool, including differentiation of types of pain and modes of treatment, and for the establishment of specialized multidisciplinary pain clinics. Baszanger also provides an in-depth comparative analysis of the divergent approaches toward pain and its treatment at two clinics in France today, taking into account her observations at consultation sessions as well as many interviews with physicians, clinic staff, and patients. Her ethnographic inquiries are always anchored in socio-historical reflections on the social and conceptual transformations that were necessary to make the invention of pain medicine possible. A pathbreaking effort, this book goes a long way to explain why sufferers of chronic pain had to wait until the end of the twentieth century to find physicians and clinics specializing in the alleviation of their condition.
