MIGRAINE HEADACHE DEVICE

5/2/02

A simple device that fits over your front teeth is being hailed as a breakthrough for treating migraine headaches. The FDA recently approved the NTI tension suppression system. It's a custom-fit plastic device designed to keep your jaw open slightly while you sleep. Experts say we all naturally contract muscles along the sides of our head during sleep. But migraine sufferers do it 14 times more intensely. The NTI device reportedly decreased contractions by 70 per cent.
