Doubts Cast n Credibility f Some Published Clinical Trials Science Daily (press release) To determine how many of these met recognised standards for randomly allocating participants to treatment groups trained investigators interviewed the first or co-authors of 2235 trial reports by phone. Less than seven percent of self-described RCTs published in some Chinese medical journals meet criteria for authentic randomisation. The researchers looked at both conventional and traditional Chinese medicine trials but there was no difference between these in terms of study authenticity rates. However all RCTs of pre-market drug clinical trial were authentic and RCTs conducted at hospitals affiliated with medical universities were more likely to be authentic than trials conducted at lower tier level three and level two hospitals. More than half of the trials at university-affiliated hospitals met RCT criteria which means lower-tier hospital research is the least rigorous in design terms. "The fact that so many non-RCTs were published as RCTs reflected that peer-review needs to be improved and a Good Practice of Peer Review including how to identify the authenticity of the study urgently needs to be developed" says Wu.

Avoiding allergenic foods and balancing gastrointestinal function can be one of the most powerful treatments to decrease migraines. In Chinese medicine liver imbalances are seen as a common cause of headache. From a naturopathic perspective if the liver can’t eliminate all the toxins you are exposed to on a regular basis then those toxins may create inflammation predisposing one to migraine headache. Assisting the livers ability to detoxify can be very helpful for some individuals. Liver support may also prevent “menstrual migraines” because hormones are cleared by the liver. Hormone levels are highest right before the menstrual cycle and if detoxification pathways are overworked estrogen may not be metabolized adequately causing migraines in some women.
