 Migraine
Prevention Breakthrough
The field of migraine prevention therapy has
been at somewhat of a standstill. Although numerous drugs
are now on the market which are intended to subdue migraine
pain after the attack has already begun, preventing migraine
has been less than satisfactory.
However, research has found one common
factor to all migraine and tension-type headache sufferers:
tender and sore temple and scalp muscles caused by intense
and prolonged jaw clenching during sleep. Not teeth grinding,
but jaw clenching…and there is a world of difference.
Established research has shown:
- Jaw clenching muscles of migraine suffers are 70% larger
in volume and generate significantly higher bite forces
than control subjects.
- Migraine sufferers who experience headaches soon after
or upon waking show significant evidence of nocturnal jaw
clenching.
- Tension-type headache patients contract their temporalis
muscles (clench their jaw) during sleep, on average, 14
times more intensely that asymptomatic controls.
 The
FDA has recently approved the first non-drug, no side-effect
method for migraine pain prevention, the NTI-tss, a small
and comfortable specialized mouthpiece which covers only
your upper two front teeth while you sleep.
The NTI-tss must be custom fitted by a dentist. And why just
the two front teeth? Because that prevents the back molars
and canine teeth from coming into contact. Without those
teeth contacting, jaw clenching intensity is reduced by two-thirds!
In clinical trials, 82% of migraine sufferers who used the
NTI-tss for eight weeks had a 77% average reduction in migraine
attacks, and were continuing to improve (details at the NTI-tss
web site). There were no side-effects or adverse results.
This is not to say the intense jaw clenching alone is the
cause of migraine, but does put research back on track.
So for the best way to prevent migraine, instead of putting
a pill in your stomach, you put a device on your teeth!
