The multiple use of the mobile phone seems to have significant consequences for the headaches. This link is revealed by an Indian study published in the journal Neurology Clinical Practice. The results really highlight how those who possess and use smartphone regularly, they take more drugs and struggle to eliminate the headaches of those who use the phone only for phone calls or do not possess a smartphone.
Headaches and Multiple Pain Scourge
The study, conducted between June 2017 and December 2018 over 400 headache patients, aimed at determining the existence of a conglomerate between the use of smartphone and the beginning (and / or increase) of headaches, as well as the assessment of any gap in the need for drugs. Separated from those using the smartphone and those who did not use it, the champion was subjected to a questionnaire to assess the characteristics of headaches and treatment methods.
The first data showed that the characteristics of headaches in both groups were almost identical. The only difference was that it was found in a larger presence of smartphone users, 17.5% against 7.7% of non-users. Separation, on the other hand, becomes more marked when you focus on treatment methods. In fact, patients who use smartphone get more pain relief (95.6% versus 80.9%), but with less relief.
New Studies Needed
As pointed out by Deept Vibha from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi and among the first signatures of the study, the test results suggest that using smartphone can be a potential factor in worsening headaches. However, further studies will be needed to establish mechanisms that regulate relationships between smartphones and migraines.
Hence, the root of the problem remains to be clarified. Causes may stem from neck attitude or the light of the smartphone screen, eye fatigue, or the stress that is always involved as a contributing factor. Only future studies will shed more light on this subject. At present, the expert's suggestion is to use smartphone more consciously, perhaps using more speaker.
