A headache helps people who struggle with the coronavirus heal faster. According to Spanish researchers, migraine causes COVID-19 to last a week less.

A team of neuroscientists conducted a series of studies at the Vall d'Hebron Hospital in Barcelona. Their observations show that the strong pains accompanying the infection with the coronavirus haveinfluence on the infection of the upper respiratory tract . On average, three out of four patients with COVID-19 symptoms will develop headaches, according to a team of Spanish researchers. Along with upper respiratory tract infection , the body's defenses are activatedin the first days after infection. According to scientists, they have an impact on the course of the disease - it passes faster, andits final phase is milder .

Patients infected with the coronavirus usually stay ill for 31 days, and if accompanied by migraine, they can overcomethe disease after only 24 days . But headaches in 37 percent. survivors did not go away after 6 weeks despite being cured of COVID-19.

The study also shows some other interesting aspect. It turns out that migraine mainly accompanies women and young people in the fight against the coronavirus.

Conclusions from previous research

  • headache,
  • difficulty breathing,
  • digestive system disorders,
  • high fever,
  • cough,
  • dermatological changes on feet occurring mainly in teenagers.
