It affects both the eyes and the mind... The frightening dream: migraine... 6 ways to get rid of it
In migraine, neural therapy can be effective through several mechanisms that work together to ease pain and reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. Here are some of the mechanisms behind how neural therapy can be effective in migraine:
- Local Anesthetic Effect:
Injecting local anesthetics such as procaine into specific trigger points or areas of pain can produce an immediate pain-relieving effect. The local anesthetic blocks the transmission of pain signals in the nervous system, which reduces the sensation of pain.
- Interference Field Therapy:
Neural therapy is based in part on the interference field theory. Interference fields are areas in the body disrupted due to injuries, wounds, or chronic inflammation, and they can cause pain in distant regions. By injecting local anesthetics into these interference fields, the abnormal signals can be interrupted and pain reduced.
- Modulation of the Autonomic Nervous System:
Injections can affect the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating blood vessels and the sensation of pain. By affecting the autonomic nervous system in this way, neural therapy can ease migraine symptoms by normalizing blood flow in the head region.
- Improving Blood Circulation:
Neural therapy can improve blood circulation in the treated areas, which allows tissues to be better nourished with oxygen and nutrients and reduces inflammation. This can be particularly beneficial for circulatory problems that may play a role in the development of migraine.
- Anti-inflammatory Effects:
Local anesthetics such as procaine have anti-inflammatory properties. The injection can reduce inflammation at the injection site, which can contribute to easing pain.
- Psychological Effects:
The immediate pain-relieving effect and the sense of control over the pain can also create positive psychological effects that help break the cycle of fear and pain often present in chronic pain patients.
Practical Application:
When neural therapy is used in migraine treatment, specific trigger points, injuries, or interference fields associated with migraine attacks are usually identified and treated. The therapist performs local anesthetic injections into these areas. The number of treatments can vary depending on the severity and frequency of the migraine.
It's important to remember that neural therapy is not equally effective in all patients, and results can vary. It's recommended that treatment be carried out by an experienced and qualified therapist. A comprehensive medical consultation should always be conducted before beginning treatment, and suitability and potential risks should be assessed.
