Millions of migraine headache patients can be nipped in the bud by their "zapping the pain of a magnetic field. The size and the weight of a hair dryer, which is kept at the back of the head at the first sign of a migraine.
With a push of a button, turn the two bursts of electricity emits a short in the "electrical storm" in the brain, causing the division pain, flashing lights and blurred vision associated with migraine.
Many of the patients were treated with the device were pain free within two hours.
Migraine is clear at the top of the World Health Organization in the life of the 20 most and affects one in eight men and women.
With medication for migraine is ineffective or not suitable for everyone, the gadget that is small and light enough for use at home could hope for millions of people. , Is evaluated in the UK and will cost around £ 1000.
Research centers in the United States in a technique called single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation, or STM, in which electrical currents are used by powerful magnets to stimulate brain cells produced are.
More than 160 men and women who suffer from headaches, blurred vision, or with aura in the study.
Half received an STMS gadget at home and half a fictional device that looked almost identical. They were told to treat up to three attacks at the first sign of symptoms, and note how it went.
Nearly 40 percent of which developed the device, of the California company Neuralieve, were free from pain two hours later, compared with 22 percent in the other group.
Those were also more likely to be pain-free 24 and 48 hours later with the gadgets, reports the journal The Lancet Neurology.
The researchers, designers, and other gadgets have financial ties to Neuralieve belong, are not quite sure how it works, but I think that generates electrical impulses that the brain cells to turn over responsibility for peace migraine that.
Dr. Hans-Christoph Diener, a headache expert from Germany, warned that more work was needed to determine the best way to use the device and could trigger seizures in epileptics found.
But he added: "STMS could be a breakthrough in the treatment of migraine with aura.
