Title: Closer to the root of CH
Post by lexam on Mar 5^th, 2003, 2:38am

Hi Guys,
my father wetn to Venezuela because of his muscle disease. The professor there medicates this disease with a therapy (by the way, it was a great success), also very interesting for CH. Please check the website of this and give all of us some feedback. On the website their is also this hint:
Cluster headache patients show during exacerbation periods (migraine) the maladapted stress profile: low central noradrenergic, serotonergic and dopaminergic activity. Neuropharmacological therapy is required to reverse these imbalances. It is also most important to reduce plasma free serotonin levels provoked by raised platelet aggregation registered in these patients during attacks.

The hospital their is very serious, even if the stay in the city of caracas is not too safe...but ist was for my father a very good experience. Nobody in Germany was able to help him in this way.
Greetings from Munich/Germany
