Abstract

It has long been believed that constipation and distention of the bladder are causally related to headaches. Robertson and Wolff studied seven volunteers and found that headache did not result from the experimental distention of the bladder or large bowel. It is inferred, therefore, that the association between constipation or urinary retention with headache is probably not directly related to the visceral distention or to the contraction of the large bowel.
