Author: GöbelH, SchmidtG, SoykaD

Clinical TrialA clinical trial is a planned study conducted on humans to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and treatment methods. It aims to explore the possibilities of new treatments and improve the health of patients.
Comparative StudyResearch that compares multiple groups/interventions to determine differences/similarities in outcomes/characteristics.
Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
Randomized Controlled TrialA clinical trial that randomly assigns participants to treatment and control groups to evaluate the effects of an intervention.

Overview

This study examined the effects of peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil preparations on cognitive function, muscle relaxation, mental relaxation, and pain sensitivity. A combination of peppermint, eucalyptus, and ethanol improved cognitive function, relaxed muscles and the mind, but did not significantly affect pain. A combination of peppermint oil and ethanol significantly reduced pain sensitivity, particularly for headaches. These findings suggest that essential oil preparations commonly used for headaches can have measurable effects on mechanisms related to headache physiology.
