Migraines could damage brain cells
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
People with migraines also may be suffering from some brain damage as brain cells swell and become starved of oxygen -- a finding that may help explain why migraine sufferers have a higher risk of stroke, researchers reported last week.
The research, which was done in mice, also suggests giving oxygen may help reduce the damage, the researchers said in the journal Nature Neuroscience. They said their findings indicated that migraine sufferers should take drugs to prevent the migraine.
