New Electronic Device To Ease Migraine Pain

Medtronic Inc. presents an electronic devise for migraine treatment which significantly reduces headaches.

There are about 28 million Americans suffering from migraine. Most of headaches occur especially among women. These patients are taking prescription drugs to ease pain, but from 3 to 14% of patients who suffer from chronic migraine, don't really benefit from the drugs. Therefore, the new device comes to ease pain especially for those who suffer from chronic conditions.

Medtronic examined 61 patients with chronic migraine. These patients were having headaches 15 days in a month of and were having no pain improvement when taking traditional drugs. 44 participants were given electronic devices, which were implanted on neck. Devices are sending electrical impulses to central nervous system and easing headache.
