Recently published findings from Lund University in Sweden challenge a common assumption about the causes of fatigue in teenage girls. The researchers found no link between iron deficiency and fatigue, even though iron deficiency was very common in the group. By contrast, heavy periods, skipping meals and daily nicotine use were linked to higher levels of self-reported tiredness in the group. We h

A new study by researchers at Lund University in Sweden found that 85 percent of patients with aura-dominant migraine experienced a reduction in monthly aura days by at least half following treatment with the anti-epileptic drug lamotrigine. The findings need to be confirmed in a controlled study, but could eventually be significant for a patient group that currently lacks a specific treatment for
