Chronic Headache Pain: Discover Drug-Free, Effective Relief
If you are one of the millions who suffer from the debilitating effects of migraine or tension headaches, your dentist may not be the first healthcare provider you think to call. But think again. Dentists are now leading the charge in the fight against chronic headache pain. Their weapon of choice is a very small device with a very long name—Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System—or NTI device, for short.
Designed by a dentist (and migraine sufferer), the NTI device is no bigger than the end of your thumb. It is a clear and removable appliance worn while you sleep. When inserted it prevents teeth from coming into intense contact, effectively short-circuiting one’s ability to clench. The result is a reduction in the intensity of neuromuscular contractions of the muscles in the head, neck, and jaw by as much as 66%.
Understanding the Impact of Jaw Clenching on Chronic Headache and Migraine Pain”
Though the exact origin of chronic headache pain has yet to be determined, it has been duly concluded that clenching of the jaw can be a significant contributing factor in severity and frequency of headache pain (in general) and migraine pain (specifically). While it’s normal to occasionally clench as you sleep, excessive clenching results in exaggerated contraction and overworking of the muscles of the head, neck, and jaw. The resultant strain and spasms can cause considerable and chronic pain. What’s more, disruption of the REM sleep cycle can leave one feeling weak and tired.
Reducing Chronic Headache Pain with NTI Device: Significant Relief for Migraine Sufferers
Research clearly indicates that relaxation of these overstrained muscles can greatly reduce the severity and the recurrence of chronic headaches and promote more restful sleep, making the NTI device a highly effective tool of treatment. In fact, 82% of migraine sufferers experienced an average of 77% reduction in migraine pain after sustained use.*
If you are a headache sufferer, you may not even be aware that you are clenching. Ask yourself these diagnostic questions: Do you have frequent head, neck or jaw pain? Do you often feel fatigued or uncomfortable, even after a full night’s sleep? Do you feel stiffness or soreness in your neck or jaw?
If your answer to any of these questions is yes, allow the skilled staff of the Spodak Dental Group the opportunity to assess your case. In as little as one hour, their doctors can determine if you could benefit from the use of an NTI device and can custom fit and fabricate your appliance while you wait. Many patients begin feeling relief in as little as a few days.
