<p><em>Headaches often suddenly attack and this causes disruption to the various activities that are being carried out by ours. Headaches are pain in the head that can occur gradually or appear instantly almost unexpectedly. Headaches that appear can be felt light, heavy, and the area can be felt in the entire head or only in certain areas. There are many ways to deal with headaches, such as get some medication or get some massage therapy at certain points area, depending kind of headaches. However, the use of pain medication usually only has a short-term impact, so that at any time this headache reappears. Yoga therapy is an alternative in dealing with this headache. Yoga is indeed known as an alternative healing for certain diseases, one of them is headache. Although there is no exact and in-depth research on this issue, but some yoga movements are said to be able to deal with headaches, especially for those who often experience this headache attack at the wrong time, for example.</em></p>

ObjectiveTo examine psychotropic and pain medication use in a population-based cohort of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and compare them with controls from similar backgrounds.MethodsWe assessed Swedish nationwide registers to include all individuals diagnosed with incident TBI between 2006 and 2012 in hospitals or specialist outpatient care. Full siblings never diagnosed with TBI acted as controls. We examined dispensed prescriptions for psychotropic and pain medications for the 12 months before and after the TBI.ResultsWe identified 239 425 individuals with incident TBI, and 199 658 unaffected sibling controls. In the TBI cohort, 36.6% had collected at least one prescription for a psychotropic or pain medication in the 12 months before the TBI. In the 12 months after, medication use increased to 45.0%, an absolute rate increase of 8.4% (p<0.001). The largest post-TBI increases were found for opioids (from 16.3% to 21.6%, p<0.001), and non-opioid pain medications (from 20.3% to 26.6%, p<0.001). The majority of prescriptions were short-term; 20.6% of those prescribed opioids and 37.3% of those with benzodiazepines collected prescriptions for more than 6 months. Increased odds of any psychotropic or pain medication were associated with individuals before (OR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.59 to 1.65), and after the TBI (OR: 2.30, 95% CI: 2.26 to 2.34) as compared with sibling controls, and ORs were consistently increased for all medication classes.ConclusionHigh rates of psychotropic and pain medications after a TBI suggest that medical follow-up should be routine and review medication use.

Objective. To determine the short-term effects of infant massage on the development of Down syndrome babies. Materials and Methods. The study compared two groups (intervention and control), each with 16 babies with Down syndrome between 4 and 8 months old. The variables developmental age and developmental quotient were measured at two distinct time points, at pretest and after 5 weeks, using the Brunet-Lézine Early Childhood Psychomotor Development revised scale. This scale measures the variables of age and development quotient in a partial way (motor, visual-motor coordination, language, and social development) and in a global way. The experimental group received infant massage, applied by the parents, during these 5 weeks, every day for at least 10 minutes. The massage protocol was based on the methodology created by Vimala McClure. The control group received it after 5 weeks. Results. All developmental variables were improved in the experimental group but not in the control group. There were significant differences in developmental age between the two groups, and this outcome was better in the experimental group (p<0.001). The 2-by-2 mixed-model analysis of variance indicates a statistically significant group-by-time interaction for all development quotients, both partial and global (p<0.001), which was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group. Conclusion. Infant massage therapy improves the development of babies with Down syndrome in the short term.

Patients’ attitude toward and their personal experience of analgesics may not only influence their expectations about new medications they are prescribed but might also influence placebo effects. We assessed attitudes toward pain medication with an 8-item instrument and experiences with pain medication with an 11-item instrument and evaluated the relationship of attitudes and experiences and placebo responses in chronic back pain patients. On average, patients reported a slightly negative attitude toward analgesics and a slightly positive experience with them compared to healthy pain-free controls that had a more positive attitude toward and experience of analgesics. Pain patients seemed to report their short-term experience with analgesics when completing our instrument, as can be seen by the regression of experience with pain medication and the subscale short-term efficacy of non-/minimally invasive pain medication of the pain interview. Using a pharmacological placebo in a subsample of 38 patients, we were able to show that patients with positive attitudes had a larger placebo response than patients with negative attitudes. The size of the placebo response could be predicted using the mean attitude score. Future placebo research assessing patients’ attitudes toward analgesics seems important and could help to understand the results obtained.

The relevance of the study is connected with need to expand the arsenal of treatment methods patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The study examined the efficacy of biobehavioral therapy in a comprehensive program of treatment patients with rheumatoid arthritis (medical therapy in combination with biobehavioral therapy). It has been shown when compared with the control group (isolated drug therapy) maintaining  clinical  response  in  short-term  follow-up  study  in  the  intervention  group.  Statistically    significant relationship the volitional control of the alpha rhythm of EEG (increased power of the alpha rhythm) with a reduction in pain intensity in the in neurofeedback program and positive dynamics of the main characteristics of the alpha rhythm have been drmonstrated. Inclusion in the treatment program of arthritis biobehavioral approach has reduced the dose of pain medication, so reducing aggression of pharmacotherapy.
