Headache during fasting is a known entity in the scientific literature. The prevalence of such a headache is high and in a study conducted in Israel was found in 60% of people with a previous predilection for headache. A prior study showed a significant decrease in the incidence of fasting headache using rofecoxib, but the drug has been taken off the market. The goal of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of etoricoxib as treatment taken before the fast- a COX-2 inhibitor with a relatively long half life to prevent fasting induced headache. The study will be a prospective double blind placebo controlled trial using adult volunteers with a history of a fasting headache who will be abstaining from food and drink on Yom Kippur. The study hypothesis is that treatment with etoricoxib prior to a 25 hour fast will decrease the incidence of fasting headache.
This study will be the first to provide data about the relationship between PFO and migraine in children. By establishing the actual prevalence, we will better understand if PFO plays a role in the occurence of pediatric migraine and, thus, provide the incentive to perform additional studies evaluating whether PFO closure is an effective treatment option for pediatric migraine. For children with migraine headaches, discovering novel and effective treatments would be life altering.
Medical expert systems in combination with portal searching meta-search engines are exploited to provide reliable patient-tailored information. A prototype of a web-based information system has been developed and is to be evaluated. Its aim is to answer the decisive question whether expert system guided internet meta-search provides a better information supply for patients seeking health information online then this is possible by using ordinary search engines or health portals. The research does neither investigate the influence of ethical nor legal aspects of internet health information supply.
