To see to vanish the migraines thanks to a magic wand? It is more or less what tomorrow will propose a new technique. A device of the size of a hair dryer "could zap" the painful symptoms. Zoom on a promising process. A manual device applied on the skull would be capable to short-circuit the cascades of events responsible for the migraine. ..To fight the migraines with aura At a migraineux out of four, the crisis is preceded of signs annonciateurs, mainly of the unrests of the view: flickers, luminous streaks, luminous flash, holes in the visual field. but as sometimes of the tingles or tingles (paresthésie) often around the mouth, of the elocution difficulties or more rarely of the paralyses. These symptoms are specific to every migraineux that is reached of it, they constitute what one calls an aura. They translate a disturbance of the activity of the neurons qu precedes the pain and the nauseas. According to works presented at the time of the 48th convention of the American Society of the migraines (American Headache Society), it is possible to act during these auras to block the arrival of the migraines with an utensil of the size of a hair dryer. ..The magnetic waves, it is fantastic! The stimulation magnetic transcranienne or technical TMS is used in the treatment of some depressions or compulsive obsessional unrests (JUNK). Painless, this technique consists in creating a powerful magnetic fields during close to one millisecond. This magnetic wave creates an electric current to the level of the neurons of the brain, interrupting the aura before it results in a terrifying migraine. To test the efficiency of this technique, the Pr. Yousef Mohammad of the medical center of the university of the Ohio used a system portable TMS of the size of a drier and supposed can be used at oneself, finalized by the society Californian NeuraLieve. To test its efficiency, two groups of twenty people have been dealt on one hand with the TMS device and the other with a fictional device (placebo). Results two hours after the treatment: 69% of people treated by TMS don't declare to suffer more or only of light headaches, against 48% in the group placebo. 84% of people treated declare more thus to be sound sensitive and 70% to light against close to 20% in the group placebo. In the same way, 86% of people treated can take work in the two hours against 56% in the group placebo. The next stage is of this work confirm these good results on a bigger sample. A survey including 200 people would be from now on in progress. The sanitary authorities will have then to validate these results and to allow the marketing of this TMS device. But the migraineux anxious to acquire should pay out it all the same a tidy sum, of the order of 1 500 American dollars! 2008-12-13
