MIGRAINE
Groundbreaking Technologies for Life
What is Migraine?
It is a neurological disorder that causes a throbbing, severe headache, often felt intensely on one side of the head. The distinctive features of migraine that distinguish it from other headaches include nausea and vomiting, and sensitivity to sound and light. The pain is so severe that it interferes with the completion of daily activities and leads to limitation. Migraine attacks take the first place among the most important causes of disability and loss of work in developed countries.
Many migraine attacks are seen as a type of "migraine without aura". Other conditions accompanying the headache of migraine patients without aura; nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, sound and smell. Migraine patients with aura, on the other hand, may experience "aura" attacks ranging from 5 minutes to 60 minutes before the headache attacks begin.

Migraine is a genetically inherited disease. In other words, migraine is more common in people with a family history of migraine. Although not in the family, women are at risk for migraine headaches during hormonal transition (adolescence, premenstrual days, menopause) and during the periods when they use birth control pills. . The sensory nerve of our face, cerebral vessels and cerebral cortex is the same. This nerve can also be stimulated in external environment triggers and trigger pain mechanisms in the brain. During migraine, the cerebral vessels first narrow and then expand. The increase in pressure due to enlargement in the brain vessels is the cause of the throbbing finding in the person.

Straube et al., 2015 yılında gerçekleştirdikleri bu çalışmada, migren profilaksisinde auriküler vagus sinir stimülasyonunun (VNS) etkinliğini araştırmışlardır. Bu amaçla, hastalar haftada dört kez, her biri bir saat süren düşük frekanslı elektriksel stimülasyona tabi tutulmuşlardır. Randomize, çift kör, sham kontrollü olarak yürütülen çalışmaya kronik migren tanısı almış toplam 46 hasta katılmıştır. Katılımcılar ya aktif vagus sinir stimülasyonu ya da sham stimülasyon grubuna atanmışlardır. Dört haftalık tedavi süresinin sonunda, aktif stimülasyon grubunda migren günlerinde anlamlı bir azalma gözlemlenmiş ve bu etki sham gruba göre daha belirgin olmuştur. Ayrıca, ağrı şiddeti ve ilaç kullanımında da aktif tedavi lehine fark saptanmıştır. Çalışma, auriküler vagus sinir stimülasyonunun kronik migren profilaksisinde etkili ve iyi tolere edilen bir yaklaşım olabileceğini ortaya koymuştur.
