Long-term narcotics use for back pain may be ineffective and lead to abuse
Narcotic drugs (opioids) are commonly prescribed for short-term relief of chronic back pain, but their effectiveness long-term has been questioned in a review article by researchers at Yale School of Medicine, who also found that behaviors consistent with opioid abuse was reported in 24 percent of cases. view more (2007-01-18)
Codeine may be no cure for cough
Scientists at the University of Manchester's North West Lung Centre have found that codeine-a standard ingredient in cough remedies - could be no more effective than an inactive placebo compound at treating cough. view more (2006-05-19)
Cigarette smoke may alter immune response in COPD exacerbations
Smoking cigarettes is not only the principle cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but it may change the body's immune responses to bacteria that commonly cause exacerbations of the disease, according to new research in a mouse model. view more (2009-04-07)

Hormone irregularities linked to chronic migraine
Hormonal irregularities may explain why migraine becomes chronic, shows research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Around 3 per cent of the population are chronic migraineurs, suffering pounding headaches for around 15 days a month. Hourly blood samples were taken from 17 chronic migraine sufferers, three of whom were men.... view more... (2001-11-23)
