Migraine headache NTI-tss dentists: migraine,
migraine headaches, This is a private directory of dentists that utilize the NTI-tss for the prevention of migraine headaches and migraine associated tension type headache and jaw problems (TMJ). It is not associated with the manufacturer, NTI-TSS Inc.
NO DRUGS, NO SURGERY, NO SIDE-EFFECTS: 82% of migraine sufferers had a 77% reduction in migraine events within 8 weeks and continue to improve. Mishawaka, IN, July 10, 2001 The FDA has granted marketing allowance for the NTI Tension Suppression System (NTI-tss) neuromuscular suppression device indicated for the prevention of medically diagnosed migraine pain and migraine associated tension-type headaches.In a multicenter trial, the NTI-tss device was shown to considerably reduce or eliminate migraine and migraine associated tension headache pain. It is considered breakthrough migraine technology in that there is, when used as directed, no risk of side-effects associated with it compared to many current pharmaceutical migraine preventatives. Patients who experience migraine headaches typically contract their temporalis muscles (which cover the entire sides of the skull and are the most powerful muscles of the body) during sleep on average 14 times more intensely than those who do not experience them, and have been found to exhibit pericranial tenderness (muscle tenderness of the scalp), setting the stage for migraine and tension headache attacks. Typical migraine sufferers awake nearly every morning with varying degrees of headache pain but have come to accept headaches as normal and unremarkable. The NTI-tss device is a small, removable, prefabricated matrix which a dentist custom fits to a patients front teeth to be worn while sleeping. With the NTI-tss device in place, the intense activity of the temporal muscles (which close and clench the jaw) is suppressed to less than 1/3 of maximum by preventing any contacting of the back molar or canine teeth. By reducing this neuromuscular activity, migraine headache pain attacks are reduced or prevented all together, as well as the migraine associated tension-type headaches. 23 million people older than 12 years of age suffer severe migraine headaches. The social and economic impact of migraine is staggering, with estimates approaching $17.2 billion per year lost in productivity (The 1992 American Migraine Study, Journal of the American Medical Association) The NTI-tss Migraine trial compared the effect of the NTI-tss device
to a control device on medically diagnosed migraine sufferers. Each subject
had at least 2 migraines per month and had a physicians prescription
for Imitrex (sumatriptan, GlaxoSmithKline) as a migraine rescue medication.
