Electro Acupuncture, TENS and Headaches

What exactly are headaches?

Headaches occur for a variety of reasons. More often than not, the cause is either stress, tension or anxiety. They can also be due to emotional stress, eye strain, infection, too much or too little sleep, head injury and even changes in the weather.

Migraines often start with a throbbing headache centered above the eye or begins at the back of the head and spreads to one side.

Cluster headaches come in clusters of time. These painful attacks affect the forehead, temple and behind the eye. In severe cases, the eye and pupil become smaller.

Tension Headaches result from muscle tightening in the neck and head. The muscle contraction leads to a slightly decreased blood flow to the surrounding areas and irritation of the pain fibers in the skin, muscles and blood vessel walls.

TENS Gets Approved By FDA For Migraine Relief

A TENS unit or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation unit works to prevent and relieve pain. It delivers small bursts of electrical impulses in harmless quantities to areas where pain is occurring. Recently, the FDA has approved a type of TENS which can be used specifically to treat migraine headaches. Medical News Today writes: “The US Food and Drug Administration has given its first approval for the marketing of a device for preventing migraine headaches. The federal agency says the device, which comes in the form of a headband that delivers a nerve-stimulating low electrical current, may bring relief to patients who cannot tolerate current migraine drugs.”

TENS machines have long since gained the approval of the FDA, but the 2014 approval of this migraine machine marched the first of its kind to be acknowledged as safe for public use. The FDA is very careful in the selections that they make, running a multitude of tests before deciding whether or not something should be approved. The FDA writes: “The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.”

The approval of this device has caused many more of its kind to be imagined and further research into possible migraine treatment alternative to be completed. The scientific community is still working hard within his field to someday find a way to halt migraine pain altogether. Due to its association with the brain, it has been found to be very different than most typical headaches, and therefore much more difficult to treat, particularly in chronic cases.

The cause of migraines vary from person to person, although genetics do tend to be an underlying reason. Lack of sleep, allergies, poor eating habits, dehydration, and obesity can also contribute to this condition.
