Study Reveals High Incidence of Headaches Among Astronauts in Space

A recent study involving astronauts from various space agencies shows that space travel significantly increases the likelihood of experiencing headaches, with most being tension-type.

A recent study involving 24 astronauts found a higher occurrence of headaches in space, with 22 out of 24 experiencing them.
Headaches during space flights are more intense and frequent than on Earth, with 90% being tension-type and 10% migraine.
The study suggests that changes in gravity affect the brain's function, leading to headaches due to space motion sickness and increased intracranial pressure.
None of the astronauts reported headaches in the three months following their return to Earth, indicating the condition may be linked to microgravity.
Further research is needed to understand the causes of space headaches and develop more effective treatments.
