London: People who suffer from migraine often rely on medicines, even though it may not be the most helpful solution.
According to a new study, it was found that sex helped reduce the intensity of migraine symptoms. In a recent survey by German researchers, 60 percent of those with migraines and 37 percent of those with cluster headaches admitted that sex can help decrease the pain.
As reported, one in five patients were left without any pain at all, in the survey said which included 800 migraine patients and 200 patients with intensely painful cluster headaches.
During migraine, majority of patients avoid sexual activity, as per the study. However, what should be noted is that during sex, “hormones called endorphins are released which act as natural painkillers to reduce pain instantly.”
The study appeared published in the journal Cephalalgia.
