The present invention relates to the technical field of health products and medical devices, and in particular to a novel headache therapeutic instrument.
Migraine is the most common primary headache and mainly shows up paroxysmal moderate-severe throbbing pain clinically. This headache is usually one-sided and generally can last for 4 h to 72 h in accompanying with nausea and vomiting. Light and sound stimuluses or daily activities may increase the headache, and quiet environment and rest may relieve it. Migraine is a common chronic neurovascular disease and usually starts in the childhood and teen years, achieving the peak period in the youth and middle ages. It is a common disease for women, and the ratio of men to women is about 1:(2-3). The morbidity rate of people is 5%-10%, and the disease is usually genetic. The cause of this disease is unclear.
Frequent onset of the migraine may influence the daily routine of the patient. The most direct influence is the sleep. Thus, the life and the work of the patient may be seriously influenced. Moreover, the long-time migraine may cause personality changes; generally, the patient having the migraine for a long time may become irascible, psychologically fragile and unconfident. Furthermore, the migraine also causes unfavorable influence to the human heart and cerebral vessels. Clinically, the headache attacks to usually cause cerebral therombosis, high blood pressure, and cerebral hemorrhage.
At present, there is not a special treatment method to eliminate the migraine. Usually the medicine oral administration or injection manner is used to relieve the pain, and physical manners such as massage, cold compress and the like are also used. However, although the effects of the medicine oral administration or injection are remarkable, the human body may generate drug dependence to a certain extent.
