Got a pounding head? Biofeedback may help reduce headache pain by up to 60 percent, says John Arena, PhD, a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Health Behavior at the Medical College of Georgia. The therapy involves being hooked up to sensors that provide real-time readings of body processes, like blood pressure and muscle tension, and learning how to affect them with stress-relieving techniques.

WEDNESDAY, March 2 (HealthDay News) — The new chemotherapy drug eribulin extends the lives of metastatic breast cancer patients who have received extensive treatment, according to a new study.

The researchers found that among patients whose cancer had spread, those who took the drug lived a median of 2.5 months longer than those who received a physician-chosen treatment — 13.1 months versus 10.6 months.

Researchers looked at 59 postmenopausal breast cancer survivors, and found that 58 percent of them had experienced a fall in the year before the start of the study and 47 percent had a fall during the six-month study period.
