UW Medicine providers can use eConsults with the Headache Clinic at UW Medical Center – Roosevelt for earlier access to expert advice.
Headaches, especially migraine-type headaches, are common. There are more than 150 headache diagnoses, from tension-type headaches to migraine-type headaches to rare diagnoses such as cluster and hypnic headaches. In the U.S., 45 million people (roughly one in six) have headaches every year, and 8 million of these individuals end up in their doctor’s office looking for help.

If you’re one of the 1 million people in Washington state who experience headaches, there’s a fair chance you reach for a painkiller at the first sign of throbbing or radiating pain.
This makes sense: Many pain medications say headache or migraine relief right on the bottle. But most pain medications weren’t specifically designed to treat headaches, and if used more than 10 days per month, they can worsen your headaches or cause a headache disorder to develop into chronic migraines.

There are a lot of stereotypes out there about multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease that can lead to vision loss, trouble walking and muscle weakness. But did you know that, despite how serious it can be, it’s possible to live a full life with it?…

May is National Stroke Awareness Month. This time of year has a renewed meaning for Dorene Centioli-McTigue. The founder of Pagliacci Pizza at first did not recognize a subtle stroke warning sign a year ago. Now she encourages others to learn the signs and seek help immediately if they experience any of the symptoms…
Dr. Cyrus Zabetian has received over $1.2 million in funding for his study:
Genetic Movement Disorders: Etiologies and Pathogeneses The major goal of this project is to identify the molecular etiologies of genetic movement disorders as an important step towards improving diagnoses, elucidating pathogeneses, and facilitating efforts to develop targeted therapies.
VA BLR&D Program Officials can nominate one fundable grant from their panels each cycle. Dr. Chris Ransom was nominated and received the Award for his research:
“Regulation of extrasynaptic GABA-A receptors in health and disease”
This project will study cellular and molecular changes that occur after experiment TBI, with focus on extrasynaptic GABA receptors (both GABA-A and GABA-B receptors) in areas of the brain that are not directly involved in cortical impact (i.e. hippocampus and thalamus). It will also assess the microglia-dependence of TBI-related cellular/molecular changes and functional outcomes (e.g. epileptic seizures) using approaches to deplete microglia or limit microglia responses to injury.
