Do you suffer from migraine headaches? You may be amoung the 28 million Americans that do and there may be hope for everyone. We all get headaches at some point, maybe monthly, maybe weekly, maybe even daily. Many times our headaches are from tension or are sinus or illness related. But doctors say that there is a chance your headaches are migraines especially if they occur more frequently. There is a new device that was recently approved by the Federal Drug Administration to treat the problem of migraines. The device is called an NTI Tension Suppression Device. It is typically worn to bed, where the hard plastic mouthpiece fits on the front four teeth and prevents movement during the night. Most dentist offices can make the device in about an hour. Users of the Tension Suppression Device claim that the device calms you down and often eliminates the migraines. In the FDA trials, 82 percent of migraine sufferers were able to reduce their migraines 77 percent in the first eight weeks. If your headaches occur more than a couple of times a week, Doctors say that you should take something to prevent the migraines rather than take medicine to treat them. The Tension Suppression Device is one such prevention mechanism. Most medical insurance companies will cover a portion of the device’s cost but you will most likely need to pay a couple of hundred dollars out of your pocket. For most migraine suffers, the couple of hundred dollars will be well worth it to begin living a health life again. dentist offices federal drug administration medical insurance companies migraines migraine headaches migraine sufferers nti tension Tension suppression device
