Possible Help For Migraines

By reducing this neuromuscular activity, migraine headache pain as well as the associated tension-type headaches may be reduced.
Typical migraine sufferers waken in the morning with varying degrees of headache pain. Those who experience such headaches contract their temporal muscles during sleep an average of 14 times more intensely than those who do not experience headaches. This problem may be helped by wearing a small, removable, clear resin matrix oral insert that is fitted to the patient's front teeth and worn while sleeping. With the device in place, the intense activity of the temporal muscle (which closes and clenches the jaw) is suppressed to less that one-third by preventing any contacting of the back teeth. By reducing this neuromuscular activity, migraine headache pain as well as the associated tension-type headaches may be reduced.
