a few minutes. and then she was back to her old self again. but some types of headache can last quite a bit longer and really be a torment like migraines. oh, young i catalina's turtle has had headaches for over 10 years, which became increasingly frequent. they usually start at night just as the flu. she often stone and it feels like my head is lying on a rock and i think everything feels really hard and i'm also sensitive to lighten noise. i need quiet and dressed and quite often i have to go on sick leave for a few days, even up to a week because it's the only way i can get through it. and i miss michelle figure, eventually she had a headache almost every day. her doctor diagnosed her with migraines. as i last off, if you could say migraine is

a software disorder or the hardware itself is fine. i can be disappointing for the patient and doctor, because there's no obvious cause. the imaging here can 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 mechanically, so we still don't know exactly what's going on during a migraine attack. listen that we know it's a kind of network disorder. and the various areas of the brain play a role 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 indicate some sort of inflammatory process. so it has got 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 steamboat. gleeful sonia, to get her migraines under control. yana catalina's turtle 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 on 31 spots on her head and neck. just 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, the trigger, the migraines greenhouse frozen. she'll be coming here for treatments every 3 months. the 1st botox treatment already made

a difference as a dish randomly. so my migraines have already got quite a bit better. i hardly need painkillers anymore. coach met only when i'm on my periods, which is when they tend to flare up ones. but apart from that, i don't need painkillers. any more kind of mass me to come into mil. botox therapy is a treatment not a cure. it's used only for chronic migraines and the effect last up to 3 months. it doesn't work for everyone, but for yana catalina short, so it's made a real difference in people who get only the occasional migraine can generally treat them with painkillers. as cecil salicylic acid known as aspirin, ibuprofen or paracetamol can all health, but these medications can also damage the 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 when 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. ah, 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 electro 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 fall. i'm incredibly grateful. i don't know what i would have done without this therapy. and so i was taking painkillers, trip tains,

and i got i v medication of this come analysis for classrooms, but nothing can compare to this treatment. missed didn't. if i got to see if the others didn't help, didn't really do anything. but this treatment really wax nicholas as this suits him yet. mm. for years christina, showed suffered from the side effect of the pills. she took, which cost stomach inflammation. she decided to try a new treatment that didn't involve medication or its side effects, a form of electrical stimulation to relieve her migraines. it was different than anything she tried before. as it is to please turn the electrical current flows to my hand, which is painful. of the year to let the sara pay or the stimulation is relaxing so deeply relaxing as a tv and sponge the therapy was developed by medical psychologists,

carty cima. 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 shuttle horn at anchor brainstem has a small nucleus that regulates pain, hot 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 feel a disaster mad at thoughts. 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, and i'm with the results that the brain stem doesn't understand what's happening in the body. we used this stimulus to wake up those receptors effect so that they start transmitting signals again and the brain stem resumes its regulatory function, which then low as blood pressure m reduces pain. motzkin for the electrical

stimulation therapy is a factor for headaches, but also chronic pain. and phantom pain due to spinal cord injuries and rheumatism . checked in m g n a patent. i remember a patient who had rheumatoid arthritis, late onset, rheumatoid arthritis, that began after she was 65 years old and arthritis dinner. and she wanted to visit her children on d void, but when she came to us, she could only walk for 10 minutes at a stretch to ones 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, which quickly i get goosebumps every time. i remember that it makes me so happy that she was able to do that again the full through them. ok. christina shult also feels like she's been given a new lease on life before the treatment of pain caused a major disruption to her daily routines and activities. how do we clean up the oh,
