Space headache: a new secondary headache

And now, a new type of headache, for sp'a'cial people ;-)'Space Motion Sickness' (SMS) have been reported in astronauts earlier, and a headache they experienced in space used to be attributed to the same. Now researchers from Leiden University Medical Centre, Netherlands suggest a new terminology - SPACE HEADACHE - for the same, after studying 17 atronauts. It was not associated with SMS. They propose 'space headache' be classifed as a separate entity among secondary headaches attributed to homeostasis disorders.--------------------------See, BRIEF REPORTSpace headache: a new secondary headacheAA Vein 1 , H Koppen 2 , J Haan 1,3 , GM Terwindt 1 & MD Ferrari 11 Department of Neurology, Leiden University Medical Centre, Leiden, 2Haga Hospital, The Haque, and 3 Rijnland Hospital, Leiderdorp, theNetherlandsCorrespondence to Alla A Vein MD, PhD, Department of Neurology, LeidenUniversity Medical Centre, PO Box 9600, 2300 RC Leiden, the Netherlands.E-mail: a.a.vein@lumc.nlCephalalgia, Volume 29 Issue 6, Pages 683 - 686Published Online: 23 Jan 2009Copyright © 2009 International Headache Society
