Migraine Cure
(N.Z. Press Assn —Copyright) LONDON, August 9. A research clinic has claimed it was using a fertility stimulant to combat migraine, with 90 per cent success. The new treatment uses injections of high doses of chorionic gonadotrophin—a compound employed with great success in Britain in the last year for increasing male fertility. Doctors at Birmingham recently claimed they had turned weaklings into strong men with it. . The migraine prevention clinic said yesterday that use of the compound was the first part of a four-stage treatment which could cure 90 per cent of sufferers. It was followed up by giving the patient histamine* acid phosphate, a new highpowered anti-histamine. and finally a capsule containing anti-serotonin. Dr. Nevil Leyton, who devefoped the treatment, will soon visit the United States to see migraine sufferers, and hopes also to visit Australia and New Zealand.
