Migraine linked to high sex drive
By Karla Gale in New York
16jun06
FOR some individuals prone to migraine, this susceptibility may not necessarily
interfere with their sex life and may in fact improve their libido, according
to research published in the journal Headache.
"The goal of this research was to understand migraine better," lead author Dr
Timothy T Houle said.
"By better understanding how the brain is altered with this syndrome, we can
develop better drugs in the future.
"Migraines have other commonly associated symptoms, such as sleep abnormalities
and a higher risk of depression. Altered sex drive may be another quirk of
being a migraine," he added.
Although it is commonly believed that sex drive is reduced by headaches, and
sexual intercourse can cause specific types of headaches, Dr Houle and his
associates note, other research has suggested that sexual intercourse may
alleviate the pain of migraine in some patients.
Dr Houle, from Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem,
North Carolina, and his associates tested the theory that migraine and sexual
desire may both be associated with serotonin.
Evidence for this is the reduced libido that often accompanies depression
treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, which increases brain
levels of serotonin, whereas migraine is associated with reduced serotonin
levels
