migraine battery

Migraine is a disease that severely impairs the quality of life and is common in society, and is often accompanied by headache attacks, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. The goal in the treatment of migraine is to both reduce the pain during the acute attack and reduce the number of attacks that may occur. In addition to many undiagnosed or untreated people, the majority of migraine patients whose pain does not go away despite being diagnosed and taking various drugs for both anti-attack and pain control during the attack. For this reason, the medical world, especially Western Medicine, has accelerated its work in recent years to find a cure for migraine. As a result of these studies, the application of pain pacemaker (occipital nerve stimulation) in the treatment of migraine was approved by the FDA and entered the HEADACHE TREATMENT GUIDE. In the treatment of migraine, the application of a pain pacemaker is as follows: An electrode is placed on a nerve located at the back of the head responsible for migraine, and the tip of this electrode is combined with a generator, that is, a battery, that produces the current that will relieve pain. The system is placed under the skin so that it cannot be seen from the outside. When the migraine pain starts, the patient can activate the battery with an external control and reduce the pain. As a result of pain pacemaker application, 50% reduction in pain attacks in the first month and 80% reduction in the second month is expected.
