Astronauts were found to experience more headaches during their time in space than they did before or after their time in orbit.
The zero-gravity environment of space can have a number of bizarre impacts on the body, including strange headaches.Astronauts with no previous history of headaches may experience migraine and tension-type headaches if they spend over 10 days in space during a long-haul space flight, according to new research published in the scientific journal Neurology.This may pose a major issue for the future of long-distance space travel, researchers say.
van Oosterhout, a researcher at the Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, said in a statement.'The vestibular system, which affects balance and posture, has to adapt to the conflict between the signals it is expecting to receive and the actual signals it receives in the absence of normal gravity. This can lead to space motion sickness in the first week, of which headache is the most frequently reported symptom.
