9) Nociceptive Appliances
The FDA has approved a device that prevents
migraine pain without drugs or surgery: the NTI-tss.
"Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System").
Everybody tenses their temporalis muscles while sleeping. Some
migraine sufferers do so with such intensity, that it causes
morning headache and allows the stage to be set for migraine
attacks.
The special appliance makes the teeth bite together only at the
front. This stimulates a reflex to relax the jaw muscles.
The effect is similar to placing one's finger or other object
between the front teeth. It is removed while eating.
In clinical trials submitted to the FDA and soon to be
published in "CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular
Practice", 82% of migraine suffers had a 77% average
reduction of migraine events.
For more information, see the web page listed in the links
section [18]. The device can be obtained by seeing your
dentist.
