Title: posterior hypothalamic stimulation
Post by HypnoticFreddy on Aug 5^th, 2003, 7:49am

Hello everyone,

I am involved with scientific information research. I have access to Medline databases and I finally got a chance to do some searching on recent medical treatments or studies about CHs.

Has anyone tried posterior hypothalamic stimulation?

Another recent drug I have read about is called Civamide?

Has anyone had any experiences with the above?

Isn't Civamide the synthetic capsaicin?

The last clinical trial was a test of it in a nasal cream.

Capsaicin is a natural analgesic and is the hot in all hot peppers. It helps...a little.

I went through the Civamide trial last year and yes I think it is a synthetic capsaicin.
The form that I used was a nasal spray twice a day for a week and as far as I could tell it did nothing for my clusters...but, it sure did burn the hell out of my nose >:(
