"Astronauts' Space-Induced Headaches: A Study"

TL;DR Summary
A new study involving 24 astronauts aboard the International Space Station has found that headaches are more common in space than previously known, with 22 of the 24 astronauts reporting experiencing headaches during their missions. The study suggests that different processes are involved in early and later headache episodes, possibly related to the body's adaptation to the lack of gravity and fluid accumulation in the upper body and head. This research adds to the growing understanding of the effects of space travel on the human body, including potential barriers to long-duration space travel, such as trips to Mars.
