When You Have A Headache, Instead Ofusing Pain Killers, Have Sex! by Leaknigerianews(m): 6:55am On Mar 06, 2013
Scientic have asked people experiencing headache to resort to sèx rather than painkillers, so as to cure their aches. Experts in a new study reported in Cephalalgia, the journal of the International Headache Society, that more than half of those whosuffered migraine and had sèx during an attack experienced improvement in symptoms.

At least, one in five of the people left without any pain at all after sèx.
“Our results show that sèxual activity during a migraine attack might relieve or even stop an attack in some cases, and that sèxual activity in the presence of headache is not an unusual behaviour.
“sèx can abort migraine and cluster headache attacks, while sèxual activity is used by some patients as acute headache treatment,” the researchers said.

Consultant neurologist, Dr Nick Silver, of the NHS Walton Centre for Neuroscience and Neurosurgery in Liverpool, United Kingdom, said this was a preliminary study, limiting conclusions that could be reached.

“We can now say, however, that the excuse of ‘not tonight, I have a headache’ may not be taken seriously by all sèxual partners,” the researchers said.
In the study at the University of Munster in Germany, neurologistscollected data on 400 patients with the two types of headache who had been treated over a two-year period.

They found that 33 per cent had made love during a headache andof the number, 60 per cent ofmigraine patients and 36 per centof men and women with cluster headaches had an improvement in symptoms.

Men were more likely to benefit than women, according to the study, with 36 per cent of men using sèxual activity as a therapy for dealing with their headache.

Meanwhile, 13 per cent of womenused sèx to combat headache.
Of the migraine patients who sawan improvement in their pain, 19 per cent had complete relief of headache symptoms, 51 per cent experienced moderate relief and 29 per cent reported mild relief.

“In total, 42.7 per cent of all migraine patients experienced, atleast, 50 per cent relief, a response rate as high as in studies on acute medication,” theresearchers said.

According to them, there were a number of possible explanations for the findings, including the release of painkilling endorphins during sèx and changes in blood pressure
