ST LOUIS – Many people with chronic headaches believe that weather changes trigger their woes.
Turns out they may be right, suggest new research findings.
In a study of 25 children and teenagers with migraines or chronic tension-type headaches, researchers found that symptoms tended to flare up on days when it rained or when humidity was higher than normal.
Overall, study participants were nearly three times more likely to have a headache when it was raining or humidity was higher than average, compared with drier conditions, according to findings published in the journal Headache.
People who suffer migraines or other types of debilitating headaches commonly cite weather changes as one of the triggers. But studies on the matter have come to conflicting conclusions.
For the current study, researchers gave children handheld computers to record their headache symptoms in “real time” over two weeks. They then compared that information with weather data the researchers gathered using weather-tracking software.
This is an improvement over most past studies, which have used less- precise methods, according to the researchers, led by
Overall, the researchers found that during periods of rain, kids in their study had a 59 percent probability of reporting headache symptoms. That compared with a 21 percent probability at rain-free times.
Similarly, the odds of headache symptoms were 58 percent when humidity was higher than average — versus 22 percent when humidity levels were average.
“Results of the present study,”
Exactly why rain and humidity would trigger headaches in some children is not clear. Nor do the findings necessarily mean that other weather variables are unimportant.
One recent study of 7,000 patients with severe migraine or non- migraine headaches found that the risk of symptoms climbed on days when the temperature rose or barometric pressure dropped.
Low barometric pressure generally means cloudy skies and storms; in the current study, however, there was no specific link between headache symptoms and barometric pressure changes.
More research is needed to understand how weather variables may affect people’s headache symptoms, according to
It also remains to be seen how such knowledge could be practically useful for patients, the researchers conclude.

Excellent info. I appreciate your effort, I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Interesting site. Very helpful, very informative and easy to understand.

Hi, I need to ask you a question, how can I ge ta hold of you_
Thank you for one more excellent post. Keep up the good work.
Hey your site looks a little bit strange in Firefox on my laptop with Linux .
Greetings, I’m a college student and I’m learning a lot about writing by reading blogs. I really enjoy your style of writing. It’s very easy to understand but with excellent details. Your vocabulary makes it easy to read and absorb. That’s a big portion of writing. Your viewers have to be able to understand what you’re conveying to them and the publication has to be engaging. You need to challenge your readers, so they will come back again. You do a great job with all of these aspects. Thx!
When I click your RSS feed it just gives me a page of unformatted html, is the problem on my side?
I uncovered your blog last week and started follow your posts regularly. I have not commented on any blog just yet but I was contemplating I would like to. It is really exciting to actually contribute to a publication even if it’s only a blog. I really don’t know exactly what to write other than I actually enjoyed reading through 7 of the posts. Nice posts indeed. I sure will keep visiting your blog weekly. I learned quite a bit from you. Thx!
I’m having a strange problem I cannot get my reader to pickup your feed, I’m using google reader by the way.
Me too, tyvm for posting this..
I have been reading your posts during my morning break, and I have to admit the entire article has been very enlightening and very well composed. I thought I would let you know that for some reason this blog does not view well in Internet Explorer 8. I wish Microsoft would stop changing their software. I have a question for you. Do you mind exchanging blog roll links? That would be really cool!
I have actually been attempting to get in contact with you how ever I can not seem to find the right e-mail address ….
Hi there may possibly I reference some from the insight below in this blog if I reference you having a link back again in your website?…

Tyvm for the useful information! I would not have gotten this by myself!

The devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on therange.Three weeks later, a cow walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. The cowboy couldn’t believe his eyes.

There are several online beginner guitar tutorial websites promising this, and even more ridiculous things, so be aware that when you see a promise of mastering the guitar fretboard in a single afternoon, you could be facing a scam. Learning how to play the guitar requires time, as with all things worthwhile in life, but the payoff is tremendous.
Well I found this on Digg, and I like it so I dugg it!

This is abnormal, but I can only see another half the post, is this the internet site or my web browser? I think I should restart.
Hey, Mike here. There is reason to believe that your website might become very popular if it’s not already… I’m pretty good at spotting an up and coming blog, since I’ve worked in this field for a while and I think that if you keep at it you’ll definitely start seeing a lot of visitors and potentially income from your blog. Keep it up – Mike
You can find certainly a lot of details just like that to take into consideration. That is a good point to bring up. I will offer you the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions just like the one you bring up exactly where the most very important point can be working in honest very good faith. I don?t know if most useful practices have emerged around things just like that, but I am certain that your task is clearly identified as a fair game.
Your article is full of information. Just want to say thank. I loave your blog.
Aw, that was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write just like that too – taking time and real effort to make a fine article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and in no way seem to get something done.
I expect the voters see what type of monster they’ve placed within the Bright Property.
Forget respecting and start thinking about how can make a difference in your life.
You gather you’ve got it bad?
I don’t imagine that the older generation is more likely to get.
You are warned against taking any exceptional chances or risks and has been pretty interesting lately.
At 6am, it’s still dark.
