migraine article in New York Times

Post  lentils on Thu Feb 18, 2010 10:43 pm

This is an excerpt from NYT:
Dr. Andrew Holman published a study several years ago suggesting that a subgroup of fibromyalgia patients had enough cervical arthritis or bony abnormalities to in effect bruise the spinal cord in certain positions. Dr. Holman suggested that these patients should be treated more like patients who had spinal cord injuries, using medicines that calmed overactive nerve fibers and reduced inflammation. One of the three approved medications for fibromyalgia — pregabalin (Lyrica) — does act in this fashion.

I didn't notice how old it was.
You can find the whole Q and A session by going to NYT and searching.
