Definitions
- the present disclosure generally relates to a topical medicine for relieving pain, and more particularly, relates to an ointment or a lotion for relieving headache.
- Pain is a mechanism to alarm for body safety. Sensory neurons transfer signals from an injured part through spinal cord to brain. Some people may suffer from chronic pains which can decrease quality of life. Different strategies are used to decrease or even eliminate pains. These strategies include using pain medicines, physical therapies, for example, heat or cold packs, massage, hydrotherapy, and exercise, psychological therapies, for example, cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, and meditation. Pain medicines are one of the most applicable methods to remedy pain due to high effectiveness for relieving pain in a short period of time. Pain medicines can be in form of tablet, lotion, cream, ointment, syrup, ampoule, etc. [0003] Different drugs are used as pain -relief compounds in pain medicines. The pain-relief compound includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, tricyclic antidepressant compounds, etc.
- Headaches are the most common pain that each person may experience during his life. The pain may be irritating which therefore requires medical treatment. The pain comes from signals between your brain, blood vessels, and nearby nerves in chronic headaches such as migraine.
- Ron L. Hale et al. presented a patent on “MEATHODS FOR TREATING HEADACHES WITH LOXAPINE” (US 8,288,372 B2).
- Ron L. Hale et al. decreased headaches by using loxapine or amoxapine systemically by inhalation.
- Franke Hanshermann et al. presented a patent on “TRANSDERMAL SYSTEM CONTAINING ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID FOR TREATMENT OF MIGRAINE” (US 2003/0008852 Al).

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to a topical medicine for relieving pain, and more particularly, relates to an ointment or a lotion for relieving headache.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Pain is a mechanism to alarm for body safety. Sensory neurons transfer signals from an injured part through spinal cord to brain. Some people may suffer from chronic pains which can decrease quality of life. Different strategies are used to decrease or even eliminate pains. These strategies include using pain medicines, physical therapies, for example, heat or cold packs, massage, hydrotherapy, and exercise, psychological therapies, for example, cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, and meditation. Pain medicines are one of the most applicable methods to remedy pain due to high effectiveness for relieving pain in a short period of time. Pain medicines can be in form of tablet, lotion, cream, ointment, syrup, ampoule, etc. [0003] Different drugs are used as pain -relief compounds in pain medicines. The pain-relief compound includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, tricyclic antidepressant compounds, etc.
[0004] Headaches are the most common pain that each person may experience during his life. The pain may be irritating which therefore requires medical treatment. The pain comes from signals between your brain, blood vessels, and nearby nerves in chronic headaches such as migraine.
[0005] Different strategies were applied in the prior art to relieve headaches. Ron L. Hale et al. presented a patent on “MEATHODS FOR TREATING HEADACHES WITH LOXAPINE” (US 8,288,372 B2). Ron L. Hale et al. decreased headaches by using loxapine or amoxapine systemically by inhalation. Franke Hanshermann et al. presented a patent on “TRANSDERMAL SYSTEM CONTAINING ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID FOR TREATMENT OF MIGRAINE” (US 2003/0008852 Al). Franke Hanshermann et al. used acetylsalicylic acid for treatment of migraine and other serotonin-dependent, platelet-mediated disorders with aid of a transdermal therapeutic system. These methods of inhalation and transdermal therapeutic system are not cost effective and user friendly.
[0006] There is, therefore, a need for a cost-effective, user-friendly, and fast method to relieve pains. There is further a need for a pain-relief medicine to relieve headaches effectively.

[0053] Example 1: producing an ointment
[0054] For producing an ointment, method 100 may be used. To produce an exemplary ointment, 150 mg of a dry nortriptyline compound was grinded to 10 pm particles. Then, 20 mg of biperiden powder was prepared by grinding a biperiden compound. After grinding, two powders were mixed together for one minute. After mixing two powders, 5 mL of distilled water was added to an exemplary two powder mixture. Water and an exemplary two powder were mixed together at a temperature in a range of 20°C to 30 °C for 10 minutes to homogenized and dissolve an exemplary two powder in an exemplary distilled water. Then, 250 mg of dry prednisolone was grinded to a particle size of 10 pm at a temperature of 20°C to 30 °C. Then an exemplary prednisolone powder was added to 1.5 gr of Aspirin powder. An exemplary mixture was homogenized for 2 minutes. Then, an exemplary mixture of prednisolone powder and Aspirin powder was added to an exemplary mixture of Nortriptyline and Biperiden and distilled water. An exemplary mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and was placed in a quiet place for2 hours for complete dissolution process. An exemplary final mixture was combined with 50 gr cold cream (eucerin) and stirred for 30 minutes.
[0055] An exemplary final obtained ointment has a light color with almost neutral pH. An exemplary ointment may be maintained below 30 °C without freezing. An exemplary ointment may be used for chronic headaches. An exemplary ointment may be used topically three times on temporal, frontal and occipital regions which may be used by Iranian medicine massage therapy and acupuncture in treatment of headache.
[0056] For analyzing an exemplary produced ointment, Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used. Mann-Whitney U test is a nonparametric test of null hypothesis that specifies higher probability of one criteria for one group in comparison to another group. Wilcoxon signed-rank test is a non-parametric statistical hypothesis test. Table 1 illustrates results of Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test for one day of a group of patients with chronic headaches who used the produced ointment and a control group who suffer from chronic headaches but they did not use any treatments. An exemplary treated group used the treatments for 60 days. Results indicated that average hours a day of an exemplary treated group having headaches was 1.32+1.71 with an average of 1 hour but before the treatments it was 14.12+4.49 with an average of 15 hours. Results of Mann-Whitney U test showed that the average hours of having headaches in treated group was noticeably decreased (p<0.001) in comparison to an exemplary control group (p=0.87).
[0057] Table 1. Results of Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test on a treated group and a control group after 60 days of using the treatments.
[0058] Table 2. illustrates results of Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test of a group of patients with chronic headaches who used an exemplary produced ointment and a control group who suffers from chronic headaches but they did not use any treatments for one month. Results show that average days of having headache in a month for an exemplary treated group was 1.94+2.42 day and for the control group was 25.73+5.59. Results show that after treatment with an exemplary produced pain-relief ointment, an average day of having headaches were noticeably decreased. According to Mann-Whitney U test these two groups were almost the same before treatments (p=0.55) but after the treatments they were noticeably different (p<0.001). Wilcoxon signed-rank test also showed that the average days of having headaches were noticeably decreased in an exemplary treated group after one month p<0.001. [0059] Table 2. Results of Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test after one moth of using exemplary treatments on a treated group and a control group.
[0060] Table 3 illustrates results of intensity of headache using visual analog scale (VAS) criteria using Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test of a group of patients with chronic headaches who used the produced ointment and a control group who suffers from chronic headaches but they did not use any treatments. For analyzing an intensity of headache, VAS criterion was used. Results show that the average intensity of headache in an exemplary treated group before exemplary treatments was 9.41+0.82 with an average of 10 and after exemplary treatments it was 1.23+1.07 with an average of 1. Results of Mann-Whitney U test showed that the intensity of the headache was noticeably lower for an exemplary treated group (p<0.001) than the intensity of the headache for an exemplary control group and an exemplary treated group before the treatments (p=0.72).
