Uninvited guest on behalf of the migraine does its unpleasant visits to each 10-th inhabitant of the planet, while the doctor treated no more than 50% of them. Studies show that, although she herself – a lady more than a ripe old age (the first mention of this disease dating back to the III century BC. E. ), Their victims, she chooses mostly young people, motivated and responsible. Even it is considered that chronic headaches from them – a kind of payment for success. Moreover, the "feminist" migraine-like women are three times more than men! She was even called "the disease of menstruating women," since the debut maiden migraines often played with the advent of the first "critical days" and then attacks continues until menopause, making a break only during pregnancy.
Mother, "druzhaschaya with migraine, 60% of passes to her children (my father in that sense, less" severe "- the risk of getting such a legacy of his entire 20%), and if both parents suffer from migraines, the probability rises to 90%.

<p> Since time immemorial, doctors and scientists are fighting over a miraculous recipe, healing from migraines. Constantly there are new ideas, lauded to the skies, carried by the critics to the nines. Millions of sufferers around the world believe his diagnosis a life sentence and was horrified to wait for the next migraine attack, wondering last for a few hours or more a day. </p>
<p> <strong>Wedge – wedge</strong> </p>
<p> Here and there comes the moment when, on the recommendation of staff of the Research Center at the University of Melbourne to deliver the patient in distress. Project leader Professor Paul Martin claims that patients in the control group, which at the time of attack to solve complex problems and overcome situations of high emotional stress, thereby strengthening the protective reaction of the organism and quickly got rid of the pain. </p>
<p> But doctors who have daily contact with victims of migraines, refer to this method of treatment wary. However, the assistance of the treated mainly those who can not cope with the disease at home, then there are people with the most severe, prolonged and frequent attacks. Perhaps if migraine occurs in mild (and in most cases, fortunately, it happens that way), the body can really try to divert the storm of emotions and difficult tasks. Although long-term experience has shown that patients who are able to lie down during an attack in a quiet dark room, come to their senses quickly. </p>
<p> According to worldwide research in recent years, namely stress and nervous tension are the most common factors that provoke migraine attacks. Already it is estimated that every person who suffers from migraine, completely loses 10 working days per year, and another 30 days, its effectiveness is reduced by half. </p>
<p> <strong>Treat or suffer?</strong> </p>
<p> So how do you turn the head in a healthy patient? Being constantly pregnant? Change the floor? Wait for old age, like manna from heaven? Or withdraw from the life of all the triggers, that is a sign under a glass dome, carefully avoiding unrest, tension, physical activity, alcohol, hunger, certain products, winding attack: chocolate, bananas, cheese? </p>
<p> Before the diagnosis "migraine", doctors have always been convinced that the brain of the patient has no organic disorders. In general, migraine – lady unpleasant but not dangerous, you only need to learn to get along with it. That is – to make the attacks occurred as rarely as possible, were both weaker and can easily stoped by simple means. After all, every man laid their own analgesic system, internal factory for the synthesis of analgesics, only need to restore their work to a normal level of activity. </p>
<p> And avoid all the possible trigger factors is not necessary, enough to know your personal "trigger" and stay away from him. </p>
<p> <strong>The doctor said: "Cut!"</strong> </p>
<p> Recently over migraine flashed … surgeon's scalpel. American doctor Gere argues that the surgical removal of some facial muscles in patients ensures complete freedom from lifelong bouts. But is it worth so hurry on the operating table? </p>
<p> The fact that during migraine attacks the muscles tense up and head are painful – and an absolute fact, as revealed in recent years, this tension remains almost constant, "squeezing" the head and during the attacks, and between them. There are a number of special techniques that allow them to relax: for example, acupuncture or a relaxing massage. To remove the spasm the doctor may put a needle directly into the muscle (dry tap). Very effective measure today is also a patient teaching the principles of biological feedback (biofeedback technique). Using special sensors, the person can clearly see on the screen, as his muscles tensed, and then teach yourself to recognize these feelings and relieve spasm with breathing exercises. </p>
<p> Recently, in conjunction with these measures (or as self-treatment), doctors suggest a course of injections of preparations containing small doses of botulinum toxin type A. After this injection the muscles relax and the pain associated with muscle spasm, they leave. Of course, this effect lasts not for ever (usually from 3 to 6 months).</p>
