Usually associated with beach and fun, the summer is also the time of the headache. Second study with 7 thousand patients of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, United States, the incidence of pain caused by migraine, tension or other causes increased by about 7.5% to five degrees Celsius in temperature to more .

The British network BBC, the researchers monitored several environmental factors - such as temperature, pressure, humidity and air pollution - during the three days prior to the visits of patients to the hospital and in subsequent weeks. The objective was to verify which of these factors would be linked to strong headaches.

The factor that was associated with more disease was the occurrence of higher temperature 24 hours before the consultations. The low atmospheric pressure before each trip to the hospital also was noted, but in lesser degree.

For the Doctor of Neurology, Federal University Fluminense (UFF) André Matta, besides the heat, fatigue or other problems such as high brightness are also frequently associated with the increase of cases of migraine. "The neurons of those who have migraine are more sensitive. When this type of information - heat, bright etc - is received by the brain, triggers mechanisms that cause dilation of blood vessels and inflammation are responsible for pain, "he says.

The pain of the head are treated in various ways, depending on the cause. Among the possible treatments, is acupuncture.
