antimigraine/vomiting

Activation of vanilloid receptors has commonly been used to facilitate neurogenic inflammation and plasma exudation to model components of the pathogenesis of migraine; however, these studies have been performed mainly in species lacking the emetic reflex. In the present studies, therefore, we used

<P>Background and Objective: Migraine is a neurovascular syndrome associated with unilateral, throbbing headache accompanied with nausea, vomiting and photo/phonophobia. Several proteins are involved in the etiopathogenesis of migraine headache. The aim of the present review is to give an

Migraine is a recurrent incapacitating neurovascular disorder characterized by unilateral and throbbing headaches associated with photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, and vomiting. Current specific drugs used in the acute treatment of migraine interact with vascular receptors, a fact that has raised

METHODS A 29-year-old man was admitted because of recurrent episodes of vomiting. METHODS The admission diagnosis was acute anuric renal failure. Ultrasound was unremarkable and there had been no history of renal disease. The serum creatinine concentration was 5.48 mg/dl. The urinary findings were

OBJECTIVE To describe a patient with cyclic vomiting who was treated successfully with sumatriptan, a serotonin, agonist. METHODS A patient with a 4-year history of cyclic vomiting was treated for an episode of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. This patient had been hospitalized numerous times

The experience with prophylactic therapy for cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children, Perth, Western Australia was retrospectively reviewed by questionnaire. Data was collected from 31 patients, aged 2.9-21.75 years who reported a mean of nine attacks per year.

Nausea and vomiting are debilitating symptoms complicating many clinical conditions. Conventional antiemetic agents act as muscarinic, histamine, and dopamine receptor antagonists in the central nervous system. In a retrospective analysis, tricyclic antidepressant drugs demonstrated efficacy in

BACKGROUND There is a group of patients who have unexplained chronic nausea and/or vomiting. In the past these patients were labelled as having psychogenic vomiting. However, there is little evidence that such a condition exists. Rather, these patients usually have a functional gastrointestinal

BACKGROUND Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a condition characterized by recurrent, stereotyped, attacks of intense nausea and intractable vomiting with no identifiable cause. The diagnosis is made according to the Rome III criteria; however, the condition remains a heterogenous group of symptoms

Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a disorder characterized by episodes of nausea and vomiting lasting 1 to 5 days, followed by asymptomatic periods. The etiology and pathophysiology of CVS are unknown, but CVS shares similar characteristics to those of migraine headaches. Tricyclic antidepressants

OBJECTIVE To examine the overlap between cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) and migraine by comparing 2 subsets of children with migraine-associated and non-migraine-associated CVS. METHODS We studied all children <18 years of age who met the consensus criteria for CVS after presentation to our

The intranasal route of administration for antimigraine drugs offers many theoretical and practical advantages. A drug that is administered intranasally is absorbed by the highly vascular mucous membranes of the nose, which allows for rapid delivery of un-metabolized drug to the central nervous

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS), summarize the experience for twelve years, and improve awareness, diagnosis and treatment level of CVS. METHODS The clinical data and results of long-term follow-up of the children with CVS seen from

Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a relatively rare but highly incapacitating disorder. It is seen both in children and adults, although classically it has been perceived as a pediatric gastrointestinal disorder. Recent studies have demonstrated that this disorder indeed can be seen in adults and is
