    Are you a patient of MIGRAINE, CLUSTER HEADACHE, and CHRONIC EXCRUCIATING HEADACHE OR FACIAL PAINS?

    Are headaches ruining your lives?

    Taking ASPIRIN tablets which are useless, pain does not abolish, and grew stronger? then here is a newer medical technology.

    ELECTRONIC ASPIRIN-A new remedy for migraine,striking invention to get rid of migraine,clusterheadache,ch.excruciating headaches or facial pains,is the SOLUTION…..

    Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG);Researches have shown that sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) nerve cluster(sympathetic, parasympathetic and some sensory) is thought to be attributed to nasal problems, migraines, cluster headaches and other miscellaneous pains in the head and face areas.It lies in a bony cavity called the pterygopalatine fossa, which is deep in the midface.

    It supplies the lacrimal gland, paranasal sinuses, glands of the mucosa of the nasal cavity and pharynx, the gingiva, and the mucous membrane and glands of the hard palate.

    There are no treatments are found working against it. An innovative technology that was found out after ample clinical investigation is Electronic aspirin atAutonomic Technologies.Inc. It is a powerful tool for patients for interfacing with SPG signals at the prime stage of the headache.

    How ELECTRONIC ASPIRIN works?

    The Electronic Aspirin is a technology under clinical investigation at Autonomic Technologies, Inc. (Redwood City, CA) is a patient-powered tool for blocking SPG signals at the first sign of a headache. The system involves the permanent implant of a small nerve-stimulating device in the upper gum on the side of the head, which is normally affected by headache. The lead tip of the implant is connected with the SPG bundle, and when a patient senses the onset of a headache, he/she places a handheld remote controller on the cheek nearest the implant. The resulting signals stimulate the SPG nerves and block the pain-causing neurotransmitters.

    For patients, the implant procedure to get the almond-size device implanted is almost as easy as a wisdom tooth extraction. The device is situated behind the nasal passages and eye sockets, as the SPG bundle of nerves is actually outside the brain.

    The implanted device has a tiny tail that sits against the nerves. When patients feel headaches coming on, they simply hold a smartphone-sized remote control to their cheek that sends a radio signal to the implanted device. This triggers a slight electrical charge to stimulate nerve cells. The patient can turn it on and off as needed. Moreover, the patient can leave it as is or take it out, when no longer necessary.

    Although the electronic aspirin is surgically implanted into the patient’s head, there is still a need for a medtech. Medtechs will need to know about the remote control device and symptoms to look for in case there is an issue with the implant. Eventually asking new patients if they have an electronic aspirin installed will be as common as asking if they have a pacemaker.

    Effectiveness

    Autonomic Technologies has been approved to treat migraine and cluster headaches in Europe, and the company is currently waiting for the FDA to approve them for testing in the U.S. The tests performed in Europe were the largest randomized, controlled neurostimulation studies performed. The end result showed an overall clinical improvement in 68 percent of patients. In this case, a clinical improvement means more than a 50 percent reduction in pain and over a 50 percent reduction in frequency. Other impressive numbers include the following: a 67 percent reduction in pain within 15 minutes, significant pain reduction in 15, 30, 60 and 90 minute intervals, and an 88 percent reduction in attack frequency in 43 percent of patients.

    Thus, Electronic aspirin is a great creative tool that is created with the help of latest technological aid and to those people who suffer with pro-longed headaches and migraines can get relaxed out of its inconvenience and consequences so easily with this milestone technology creation.
