Conclusion
From the Paper
"The correlation between migraine and strokes, especially ischemic strokes, is particularly relevant among the female population. This is due to the fact that women comprise more than 60 ? 70 percent of the number of migraine sufferers in almost any given study. The nature of and connection between migraine headaches and ischemic strokes will be explored in this paper as well as their specific correlation with regard to women."

Abstract
A migraine is a chronic paroxysmal disorder which differs from a normal headache by its symptoms and degree of pain. After defining migraines, the paper examines the causes of this disorder, including food, environmental and body reactions. The paper then looks at the different kinds of migraines (classic, common, transformed, chronic) and concludes with forms of treatment used by sufferers.
From the Paper
"Migraines and headaches have different causes. The pain associated with a headache is caused by vasoconstriction, the medical term for the narrowing of blood vessels in the brain. A migraine?s cause, however, is just the opposite. During a migraine, the blood vessels in the brain expand, in a process called vasodilation. This causes a swelling of the tissues around the brain, which makes the pain worse. When migraine suffers take headache medicine geared treat vasoconstriction, they inadvertently dilate the blood vessels further. This in turn causing increased swelling, thereby making the migraine worse (Coleman and Burchfield)."

Abstract
This paper explains that many studies indicate stress can be a major factor in causing at least some forms of migraines, and treating the stress in a patient's life can often lead to a reduction in migraine pain and recurrence. The author points out that studies suggest that many migraine sufferers have poor coping mechanisms for both stress and their condition; therefore, stress affects them more strongly. The paper relates that many physicians treat their patients not only with medication for the pain, but also to help them reduce stress from their daily lives to reduce the occurrence of these debilitating headaches.
From the Paper
"Migraine headaches are quite painful for their sufferers and often difficult to control or eliminate. Patients report feeling a severe throbbing or aching, normally in one side of the head, which often does not respond to normal painkillers. There can be sensitivity to light or noise, nausea, vomiting, and intense pain in the area of the headache. Often, a migraine attack is predicted by an aura of light the patient sees before the pain begins. More women suffer migraines than men, and they tend to hit the 35- to 45-year old age group the hardest. It is believed migraines are caused by a restriction of the blood vessels in the area of the brain where the pain is centered, and in the 1990s, the drug Imitrex came on the market to specifically treat these restricted blood vessels."

Abstract
An estimated 24 to 28 million Americans suffer from migraine headaches, which is the most common neurological disorder in the modern world and modern times. This affliction reduces work performance by 50% and accrues to wasted resources and a generally low-quality of life. The more common type of migraine afflicts 80% of all sufferers, who mostly do not consult with physicians. The paper shows that, at present, migraine attacks are managed with pain-killers, herbal medications, and alternative therapies. But research continues to discover more effective, safer and readily available modes to control migraines.

"The holistic and practical way of preventing migraine attacks consists of recognizing and avoiding triggers and taking prescription or appropriate drugs when the attacks begin (Robinson 1999). Certain habits must be established to avoid these attacks. These may be eating at regular times, reducing coffee intakes, keeping regular sleeping hours without oversleeping, restricting physical exertion and time management that will avoid or lessen stress at work or at home. Drugs that can help prevent migraine attacks are beta blockers, tricyclic anti-depressants, cancium channel blockers, anticonvulsants, prozac, monoamine ocidase inhibitors and serotonin antagonists (Robinson)."

"ZOMIG & IMITREX FOR MIGRAINES
Introduction
This research paper presents a discussion of migraines that includes classification and clinical presentation, epidemiology, general treatment approaches, and the drugs Zomig and Imitrex used for treatment. Discussion also offers treatment comparisons regarding cost, effectiveness, safety, and alternatives.
Migraines are found in all civilizations. A reliable description of migraine without aura (MO) dates back to the first century AD and descriptions of migraine with aura (MA) date from the seventeenth century. MO is characterized by a headache attack that lasts between four and 72 hours; it is usually severe, unilateral, pulsating, aggravated by physical activity, and accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photo- and phonophobia.

From the Paper
"According to Dewan (2002), over 16 million office visits are placed to clinics or doctors, 500,000 hospitalizations and 110,000 deaths can be directly attributed annually to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Tiep (1997) reports that between 14 - 20 million individuals suffer from COPD and the number of new diagnoses is rising at alarming rates with an associated annual cost upwards of $40 billion. COPD is regarded as the fourth leading cause of death in the United States (Simmons & Simmons, 2004; Tiep, 1997)."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Cocoa takes it a step further though. Not only does it provide energy for our actions. It supplies chemicals for our personalities and moods. Modern psychology leads us to believe that every thought, every idea that pops into our head is simultaneously a biological reaction. This biological reaction takes the form of chemical processes within our brains. Our mind then interprets these chemical compounds as thoughts, ideas, smells, tastes, touch, etc. Our thoughts, or chemicals compounds within our brain can determine how we feel, our motivation, our goals, our entire lives hinge upon our thoughts, for what are we but what we do. And before we do anything, we must think it. We must have considered it at some point or been subconsciously predisposed to an action or idea."
