New Breakthrough in Headache and Migraine Prevention

 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved the NTI Tension Suppression System (NTI) as a drug-free alternative to reducing headache pain and migraine-related episodes that affects 28 million Americans. This safe and effective device is simple to use, requires no surgery and has no side-effects.

Patients affected by headaches and migraine-related episodes generally tend to contract their temporalis muscles 14 times more intensely during sleep than those who are unaffected, resulting in pericranial tenderness (muscle tenderness of the scalp). The NTI is a dentist fabricated, custom made device fitted to a patient’s front teeth and worn while sleeping. While in place, the NTI reduces neuromuscular activity (jaw clenching) by activating a natural reflex trigger on the front teeth to promote relaxation of the jaw muscles; thereby reducing migraine-related tension headache and preventing them all together.

Dr. Mungcal states that this device actually treats the source of the problem and not just the symptom.  He states, "By activating the good reflexes of the jaw and negating the bad ones, we can help eliminate the pain and suffering of patients without having to resort to pain and muscle relaxant medication."

In a multicenter trial of the NTI device, 82% of sufferers had a 77% reduction within 8 weeks. Use of drugs, such as Imitrex, was reduced by almost 50% and there were no side-effects and no new pains. With just a single visit to the dentist, everyone can reduce the symptoms of headaches and in some instances, provide relief from migraines!
