Equipment for migraine headaches

Migraines will no longer be controlled by a powerful magnetic field generator through the skull, using a technique called TMS.

"Migraines originate from intense neurological states in which the patient sees visible flaring, stars, or other manifestations of pain. Strong and strong, the neurons will be tired and worn out, spread throughout the brain and result in a massive headache, "said Dr. Yousef Mohammad, neuroscientist

The team's idea is to stop the process of transmitting sensory discomfort on the cortex by TMS.

In the study, patients were asked to go to the hospital when the pain began. A physician will place the stimulator behind the patient's head and activate two pulses, separated by 30 seconds, for the purpose of using a strong magnetic field to shock excited neurons.

Of the 42 participants, 19 received "placebo" pulses .

As a result, 69% of the respondents said they only felt very little or no pain 2 hours after pulse. This figure in the placebo group was 48%.

After TMS, working function improved with 86% of headaches , compared to 56% in the placebo group.

The team did not report any adverse events in TMS. Mohammad and his colleagues have started a randomized, large-scale clinical trial.

However, another expert said that the results prove that the device is not very effective.
