Headache and Migraine

PEMFs have been found to be very helpful for relieving headache. One study was done in people who failed treatment with acupuncture and medications. PEMF for 15 days reduced migraine, tension, and cervical (neck) headaches, with the results lasting for up to one month after treatment. The study participants had at least a 50 percent reduction in frequency or intensity of the headaches and needed fewer painkillers. PEMF treatment was most effective for tension headaches, with 88 percent of sufferers reporting excellent or good results.

Migraine is a disorder with recurrent moderate to severe headaches. Typically, the headaches involve half of the head, are pulsating, and last from two to seventy-two hours. There may also be an aura, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound, or smell. It is thought to be due to in part to vasoconstriction followed by reactive vasodilatation. The aura may be due to vasoconstriction. The other symptoms are when the blood vessels become overly dilated to produce the headaches. Worldwide, approximately 15 percent of people are affected by migraine headaches.

Migraines are believed to be due to environmental and genetic factors. They involve the nerves and blood vessels of the brain. Medications are only partially successful and can have significant side effects. At this point, there is no cure for migraines. Alternative approaches to management are clearly needed. PEMF self-treatment could easily fill this gap. Food sensitivities and allergies are very common triggers of migraines and contribute significantly to the inflammation. Triggers need to be identified and eliminated as much as possible, for there to be a chance of controlling the migraines.

More recently, neurogenic inflammation is considered a probable cause of migraines. Neurogenic inflammation is initiated by activation of the peripheral nervous system rather than immunological causes. The neuronal activity leads to the release of chemicals at inflammation away from the sites of the original stimulus. Nerve cells that affect the coverings of the brain, the meninges, become overly sensitive and react to chronic stress, diet, hormonal fluctuations, and other brain activity. This neuronal over-activation leads to the inflammation. The headaches may be periodic, for example with menstrual periods, occasional or even chronic daily. Migraines may be mixed with tension headaches, sometimes causing confusion as to the cause.

As with other types of headache, PEMFs have been shown to be an effective treatment for relieving and preventing migraine. The goal of PEMFs is to help with the pain, decrease the inflammation, and reduce the sensitivity of the nerves controlling the blood vessels. The target of treatment is the brain. This is done best by using PEMFs on a regular basis even when there is no headache, as a preventative and to decrease chronic inflammation. PEMFs may be best used when combined with medication, particularly anti-inflammatories, and especially at the threat of or onset of a headache. Once a headache becomes very established, it may be very difficult for PEMFs to affect it, except maybe to shorten its course.
