Aspirin beneficial in treating migraine headaches: Study
Aspirin is relatively safe and economical as compared to other prescription medications and hence can be considered as an additional option by the primary health care providers for the management of migraine headaches, suggests a study published in The American Journal of Medicine.
Migraine headaches are very common affecting millions of people worldwide. They are considered one of the most debilitating disorders encountered by primary healthcare providers.
In the treatment of acute migraine and the prevention of recurrent attacks, there are many prescription drugs of proven benefit. However, for those without health insurance or high co-pays, these drugs may be neither available nor affordable and, for all patients, they may be either poorly tolerated or contraindicated.
A study was conducted by Biglione B et. al to examine the favourability of Aspirin in the treatment of Migraine headaches.
