Abstract:
Chronic headache is a frequent disorder that can cause a significant deterioration in the quality of life of the affected person. The COVID-19 pandemic is compelling all countries to develop a complete vaccination protocol for the entire population. In this article, we present 8 clinical cases of patients suffering chronic headache which resolved completely or partially after vaccination. Five patients had migraine, 2 had a post-viral headache typical of COVID-19, and one had a headache induced by sexual activity. Resolution was complete in 3 cases, almost complete in 2 others, and a great improvement was observed in the other 3. We hypothesize that the administration of vaccines for COVID-19 can produce an improvement or the disappearance of symptoms in our patients by inhibiting synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Centrally Acting Muscle Relaxants: Therapeutic Uses
Centrally acting drugs are classified into spasmolytic and antispasmodic drugs. Spasmolytic drugs such as baclofen, diazepam, and tizanidine inhibit spinal motor neurons and decrease muscle tone. Spasmolytic drugs are administered for severe and chronic spasms due to multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, and spinal cord and muscle injuries. However,...
