11:47 am
eventually she had a headache almost every day. her doctor diagnosed her with migraines and we could as i last offer, you could say migraine is a software disorder or the hardware itself is fine. i feel that can be disappointing for the patient. and doctor, because there's no obvious cause the imaging here can't tell you what's causing it was a has it appeared by in bit i patients fill out a headache diary as part of the diagnosis. migraines are a disorder of the brain. scientists are still studying exactly what causes them. that sneaky is not found, especially if we still don't know exactly what's going on during a migraine attack. as we know, it's a kind of network disorder and that various areas of the brain play a role of, of including the brain stem, white men in geez, the cerebrum anonymous thumb. that's why we also know that some sort of over activation takes place and set neurotransmitters are released. that would normally
11:48 am
indicate some sort of inflammatory process. so i'm just glad over activation in the brain is what lead to the actual migraine pain. but we still don't know exactly what triggers the attack and how the entire process actually works off as a team brooklyn full sonya to get her migraines under control. yana catalina's total was 1st prescribed an antidepressant medication that can also help with my grades. but it didn't work for her. now she wants to see if botox therapy can help and it's her 2nd treatment. botox is a nerve blocker. she'll be injected with tiny amounts of it under 31 spots on her head and neck. 4 talks foot by now, the botox is transported from the nerves into the brain, ending up in the areas associated with migraines. it inhibits the release of inflammatory neurotransmitters that triggered the migraines and i was frozen.

11:50 am
stomach, kidneys, and liver. taking painkillers too often can even cause more headaches. these rebound headaches can become even more frequent or last longer. often people take even more medications and it becomes a vicious cycle. so you shouldn't take painkillers more than 10 times a month without seeing a doctor. a lot of research is also being done on new therapies that don't involve taking medication at all. for years christina showed could only hope that she would one day be able to live without pain. now her wishes come true. thanks to these electrodes at mar books, institute for medical psychology, she received a groundbreaking form of therapy involving the transmission of electrical stimulus to her right hand. even months after the treatment, she still has pain free interest on far. i'm incredibly grateful.

11:52 am
is relaxing, deeply relaxing. lou evenings fund the therapy was developed by medical psychologist carty teemer. the electrical stimulation provides a kind of training for patients who suffer from chronic pain. their bodies learn how to regulate their pain response again. the stolen horn had anchor brain stem has a small nucleus that regulates pain, blood pressure, blood, sugar, anxiety and stress. hormones wound in chronic pain, patience is, is what we see is that this regulatory mechanism is suppressed via feler desert rat advance. because many of these pain patients have high blood pressure process, which means that the intensity of blood pressure in the carotid arteries doesn't change or damage. so information doesn't get transmitted to the brain stem done with the result that the brain stem doesn't understand what's happening in the body . we use this stimulus to wake up those receptors effect so that they start
11:53 am
transmitting signals again and the brain stem resumes its regulatory function, which then low as blood pressure m reduces pain. motzkin of the electrical stimulation therapy is a factor for headaches, but also chronic pain. and phantom pain due to spinal cord injuries and rheumatism . in m g n a patent, i remember a patient who had rheumatoid arthritis, which are late onset, rheumatoid arthritis, that began after she was 65 years old and i thought us dinner and she wanted to visit her children on the void. you. but when she came to us, she could only walk for 10 minutes at a stretch towards come on after this therapy, she was able to visit her children who live in another country. defeat was that she was able to fly their daughter and see her grandchildren quickly. i get goosebumps every time. i remember that it makes me so happy that she was able to do that again through them. ok. christina shult also feels like she's been given
11:54 am
a new lease on life before the treatment of pain caused a major disruption to her daily routines and activities. the mclean id or my migraines will often triggered by being out in the sun, or by heat, all or odors such as garlic and onions off with fever, alcohol, no way. i go. king garnished when it was a real burden. when the weather was nice, i'd want to go out for a walk, but as soon as i got out into the sun, i'd get a migraine was getting mclean lost. the i'm feeling puts entity do we have a lot of patients who've no longer been able to work because of the pain and lawyer after to therapy, they could start work again or even go back to their former career. i know older patients are able to enjoy their retirement more fully sleep allison, i couldn't even, i doth not, and hard kidneys. it's hoped that other hospitals will also begin offering this therapy for chronic pain. patients like christina showed development,
