nitroglycerin and Bone Fractures

nitroglycerin has been researched along with Bone Fractures in 3 studies

Nitroglycerin: A volatile vasodilator which relieves ANGINA PECTORIS by stimulating GUANYLATE CYCLASE and lowering cytosolic calcium. It is also sometimes used for TOCOLYSIS and explosives.
nitroglycerol : A nitrate ester that is glycerol in which nitro group(s) replace the hydrogen(s) attached to one or more of the hydroxy groups.
nitroglycerin : A nitroglycerol that is glycerol in which the hydrogen atoms of all three hydroxy groups are replaced by nitro groups. It acts as a prodrug, releasing nitric oxide to open blood vessels and so alleviate heart pain.

Headache

"Severity of headaches. Subjects recorded the severity of headaches upon awakening every day during the run-in phase using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The scale is represented by a line (continuum) 10 cm long. Subjects were asked to make a vertical line along the continuum to indicate the severity of their headache each morning upon awakening. The score is recorded in cm from 0 to 10. A vertical line marked at 0 means no headache (score recorded = 0), a vertical line marked at 10 means a terrible headache (score recorded = 10)."
