What is Cephalic Hypersensitivity Syndrome?
1. Why I am proposing the concept of cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome
Recognition of the name "cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome" in medical association guidelines
Cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome represents the aggravation of indefinite complaints to the point at which it impedes everyday activities
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is concerned about chronic pain and indefinite complaints
2. The true identity of cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome
The body's homeostasis is protected by the autonomic nerves and hormones
Circadian and seasonal variation in hormones
Sympathetic nerves and cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome
Autonomic dysregulation is serotonin dysregulation
The most important brain hormones
Cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome is caused by the dysregulation of the hormone-nerve system
3. Why does cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome develop?
What sort of person is likely to develop cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome?
Laboratory test results are not the be-all and end-all
Problems with the reference values for laboratory test results formulated by medical associations
Iatrogenic cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome from over-medication
Summary – how to maintain a balanced relationship with medications
4. Diagnosis of cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome
5. Treatment of cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome
Illustration of my treatment algorithm
The "three arrows" supporting the cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome treatment algorithm
The first arrow: Improving lifestyle: Taking back your own health for yourself
The second arrow: Improving thinking: The only person who can change you is yourself
The third arrow: Night therapy: Small doses of medication are effective if taken at night
6. Drug treatment for cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome
- Antiepileptics
- Antidepressants
- Kingdom of effective drugs
- My coded prescriptions
7. Prognosis for treatment: Types of prognosis and future issues
Evidence for cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome: Inquiring into the truth of natural science
Part1.Chapter 2
Disorders that can easily develop into cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome
1. Headache
Medical interview for headache
Association with exercise, bathing, menstruation, and alcohol
Diverse migraine-associated symptoms
Differentiating migraine and tension headache is difficult in clinical practice
Chronic daily headache is actually cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome
The increasing number of children with migraine
2. Dizziness / vertigo
Migraine-associated vertigo is an internationally recognized condition
Medical interviews for dizziness / vertigo
Try using special maneuvers to improve vertigo
3. Tinnitus: Characteristics of tinnitus associated with cephalic
hypersensitivity syndrome
Medical Interview for Tinnitus
Tinnitus treatment
Headache, Dizziness / Vertigo, and Tinnitus: The Spectrum of Symptoms
4. Headache, dizziness / vertigo, and stiff shoulders caused by straight neck
5. Headache and stiff shoulders caused by eyestrain
Computer vision syndrome
6. Sleep disorders: Can't sleep at night, but sleepy during the day
Sleep-related medical interview
Dealing with sleep disorders in everyday life
Why it's so important to get up and go to bed early
A rising number of children have cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome: The amount of time children spend sleeping is decreasing at a frightening rate
7. Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
8. Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD)
The mysterious relationship between restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder
9. Allodynia unrelated to migraine
10. Chronic lower back pain: Muscle stiffness due to static muscle load
11. Myofascial pain syndrome
12. Chronic constipation: The retention of toxins in the body
Dealing with chronic constipation: The miraculous power of enemas
13. Chronic fatigue: The accumulation of toxins in the mind
Fatigue is a red light to protect the body
Cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome and chronic fatigue
14. Disorders that are difficult to distinguish from cephalic
- hypersensitivity syndrome
- Fibromyalgia (FM)
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Menopausal syndrome
Conclusion: The chronic illness syndrome of cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome is a form of mental chronic pain
Part1.Chapter 3
The mechanism of cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome: Theoretical predictions from observations
Hypothesis 1: Many of the chronic illness syndromes suffered by patients are caused by cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome
Yunus' concept of Central sensitivity syndrome (CSS)
Definition of central sensitivity syndromes
Historical development of the concept of central sensitivity syndromes
From fibromyalgia to central sensitivity syndromes: Clinical significance
My own concept of "cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome" and Yunus' central sensitivity syndromes
Hypothesis 2: Cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome can be explained in terms of the molecular biology of synaptic plasticity
My inferences concerning ion channels and brain hormones
The choice of the easiest medication for individuals to take: Finnerup et al.'s work
Medications for treating cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome and the molecular biology of synaptic plasticity
Hypothesis 3: A biopsychosocial model is appropriate for the treatment of cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome

Cognitive behavioral therapy

About the author: who is Kosuke Oota?
Brief Author Bio
Kosuke Oota graduated from Okayama University Medical School in 1964 and completed his doctorate at Okayama University Graduate School in 1969. After working as Chief of Neurosurgery at National Fukuyama Hospital (now called National Hospital Organization Fukuyama Medical Center), in 1976, he established Oota Hospital, now known as the Brain Attack Center Oota Memorial Hospital. In 1986, he developed a wide-area emergency medical network using Oota CT image data transmission devices in coordination with medical facilities in isolated islands and remote mountainous areas without on-site neurosurgeons. He is a recipient of the Japan Medical Association’s highest merit award as well as a Congress of Cell Transplant Society prize for his active work in kidney and cornea donation from deceased donors. In his roles as clinical professor at Okayama University Medical School and primary researcher at the Shibuya Longevity Health Foundation, his research interests cover cerebrovascular disease, sleep disorders, and cephalic hypersensitivity syndrome.
