Headaches in Space

New Study on Headaches During Space Travel. A study of 17 astronauts was found that most of them experiences painful headaches after traveling beyond Earth. This has prompted doctors to call for headaches to be a secondary disorder of space flight. This headaches were use to be thought as a connection with the common motion sickness during space flight. However this study has showed that motion sickness and headaches of space travel are not related. Space flight can trigger headaches with out space motion sickness. Why headaches? Doctors are still not a 100 percent sure, but think that the headaches are related to the microgravity on the human body. The gravity disrupts the human body's sense of balance and equilibrium. This study can lead to preventive ways to help with the headaches which in all eases an astronauts trip to space.
