28B. Interdisciplinary Approach to Chronic Headaches
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chronic headaches are a common complaint, affecting millions of people worldwide. Underlying causes are varied, and many individuals suffer from multiple types of head pain, including migraines, tension headaches, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Many factors can affect pain intensity and frequency including dietary components, physical activity, stress, medications, and emotional events. Because of the varied causes, a single therapeutic approach is unlikely to be successful in treating the majority of patients. Conventional therapies often rely heavily on oral medication, which may provide insufficient pain control or be poorly tolerated.

Polymorphism of IL-28B Gene (rs12979860) in HCV Genotype 1 Patients Treated by Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin
Background: Nowadays, the immune response to hepatitis C (HCV) treatment has become a crucial issue mostly due to the interleukin 28B (IL-28B) polymorphism effects in chronic HCV patients. The aim of this study was to detect the polymorphism of IL-28B gene (rs12979860) in HCV genotype 1 patients treated with pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin. Methods...

BACKGROUND The success of treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) with pegylated interferon-α (PEG-IFN-α) and ribavirin (RBV) is affected by several host, viral, and treatment factors. This study was designed to describe the association of interleukin (IL) 28B genotypes for rs12979860 with sustained virologic response (SVR) in patients with genotype 1 CHC infection treated with PEG-IFN α-2 and R...

متن کاملInterleukin 28B Gene Polymorphism and Association with Chronic Hepatitis C Therapy Results in Latvia
Introduction. With the standard treatment of chronic hepatitis C, sustained virological response (SVR) can be achieved only in half of all patients. Interleukin-28B appears to be involved in the control of HCV infection, and the genetic polymorphism of the encoding IL-28B gene may determine the efficacy of clearance of HCV. The aim of this paper was to detect IL-28B gene polymorphism in Latvia ...

BACKGROUND Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near interleukin-28B (IL-28B) gene were shown to be highly associated with treatment response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. There is limited data about the role of single and combined IL-28B polymorphisms in HCV-infected Polish population. OBJECTIVES This study's aim was to determine predictability of ...
