Heating one ear to 42C while cooling the other ear to 17C can help prevent migraines. Researchers in the UK have come to the same conclusion..

Retro style headphones that heat one ear while cooling the other could be used in migraine prevention. Observations showed that patients who wore these devices for 30 minutes a day for three months halved the number of migraine attacks..

They also managed to significantly reduce the amount of medication they took, the study found.. Its authors believe that this experimental device affects the nerves in the ears, which leads to changes in the area of \u200b\u200bthe brain that is involved in the development of migraines..

The temperature of 42C and 17C is achieved due to aluminum inserts, which are closed with special ear pads. Physiologists from the University of Kent, who conducted the study, emphasize that many migraine victims do not like to take medication and dream of some kind of alternative treatment.. Experiments have shown that the use of this device significantly reduces the number of migraines, the level of pain, as well as the need to take pills.. Treatment can be carried out at home, no special technical training is required for this, and training is minimal in time.

While this device has not yet gone on sale, but scientists hope that this will happen in the near future.. According to statistics, up to 10% of all inhabitants of our planet suffer from migraines, and among the symptoms of the disorder are severe, throbbing pain in one of the parts of the head, which is often accompanied by nausea or vomiting, as well as sensitivity to light and sound.. Symptoms can last 4 to 72 hours without treatment. The exact cause of migraine is still unknown, but it has been established that the disorder is caused by abnormal brain activity that affects nerve signaling, chemicals, and blood vessels..
