UNDERLYING DISFUNCIÓN VESTIBULAR CAN BE CAUSE OF
THE MIGRAINE-RELATED VERTIGOS
BEACH of DAYTONA, Fla., Of February the 23, 2004
– A university of the experimental study
of Pittsburgh has rendered the results that can pave the way to
understand the basic process of the jaqueca-related vertigos and the
new possible treatments. The results of this study will be
presented/displayed in a poster in the half-full meeting of winter of
of the association for the investigation in otorrinolaringología,
February 22-26 in the beach of Daytona, Fla.
25 million people of considered in the United States
experience headaches of jaqueca. Third of these individuals also
it undergoes almost related episodes of the vertigo or the vertigos,
accounting for almost 3 percents of people in the United States.
The investigators do not know to the cause and the process
(patofisiología) behind jaqueca-related vertigos, but many create a
relation with the function to vestibular, that is to say, the sense of
the balance in the internal oido one, is implied. The
determination of the cause and the process of this disorder is an
essential element in the development of effective treatments.
In the experimental study, “Pathophysiology of
theJaqueca-Relacionados vertigos, ” the investigators Jose
M. Furman, M.D., Ph.D., dawn To Marcus, M.D., Patrick Sparto, Ph.D.,
mark Redfern, Ph.D., and J. Richard Jennings, Ph.D., all the
university of Pittsburgh, deals with the cause and the process the
vertigos jaqueca-related exploring the suspected relation to
abnormalitys vestibulares. The results of this study suggest
patient them with jaqueca-related vertigos have abnormalitys in the
function to vestibular between the episodes of the headache of jaqueca
or the vertigos and are more visually employees than people with
jaqueca without vertigo or controls pain head-free. The authors
speculate that the base for these results can be related to the
mechanisms that control serotonin, a neurotransmitter, in the system
to vestibular central.
The headaches of jaqueca can be characterized by a
headache thrown to a side that presses that it interferes with life of
every day, discharge sensitivity to the lights and the sound,
irritability, nausea, or extreme anxiety. Some victims of
jaqueca also experience an aureole (shining lights who flash, points,
hidden vision blurry, points, or still problems of the audience,
sensorial or of the motor) around one hour before beginning of the
headache. An episode of jaqueca also can include debilitating
vertigo, or the vertigos, known like jaqueca-related vertigos.
