Article Synopsis
- A study found that suctioning air from the nasal-paranasal sinuses of migraine patients provides immediate pain relief and showed elevated levels of Nitric Oxide (NO) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) compared to healthy controls.
- The research involved measuring NO and CO levels in adolescents aged 16-19 with migraines and matched controls, revealing significantly higher concentrations in migraine sufferers.
- The findings suggest that these elevated levels could help differentiate migraine patients from healthy individuals, with a specific emphasis on using NO level measurements for effective diagnosis and potential treatment evaluation.
