Migraines could be an immune system disease, opening up new treatment paths
by Guest Mon Aug 28, 2017 8:57 pm
Current treatment for migraines is eclectic by necessity of the mystery of the disease, and includes everything from antidepressants to beta blockers to highly potent painkillers. None of it is entirely effective. It’s hard to treat a disease you don’t understand and current theories as to the elusive cause of this disease fall way short of comprehensive.
A study published this week in Nature Genetics suggests that maybe, for migraines and a number of other illnesses, we’ve been looking for causes in all the wrong places. A University of Chicago team, led by genetics researcher Andrey Rzhetsky, found that the current and widely accepted International Classification of Diseases (ICD), and other methods of classifying disease based on observable symptoms and presentations, are in fact missing important connections.
