|  |  | November 30, 2009  New research at the Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, suggests that if you suffer from migraine headaches you may want to reconsider the next time you are invited to go out and 'party'.
Dr. Michael Oshinsky, PhD, assistant professor of Neurobiology, explains, "These data confirm the clinical observation that people with migraine are more susceptible to alcohol-induced headaches." He has shown the alcohol itself is the culprit rather that dehydration or impurities in the drinks.
He performed his experiments on rats. For weeks, the team created a recurring migraine condition in the rats by repeatedly stimulating the brain's covering, the dura mater, with inflammatory agents. Then rats were divided into four groups.
1. Migraine rats still receiving the stimulation followed by drinking water.
2. Migraine rats drinking alcohol after receiving the stimulation.
3. Non-migraine rats drinking water.
4. Non-migraine rats drinking alcohol.
