Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is filed based upon and claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202223214393.5, filed on Dec. 1, 2022, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure generally relates, but not limited, to the technical field of migraine treatment devices, and more particularly, to a migraine treatment device in the form of an eye mask.

BACKGROUND

Migraine often begins in childhood and adolescence, reaches a peak incidence in middle age, is more common in women, and often has a genetic background. It is mainly characterized by severe, pulsating headaches that occur intermittently, often lasting from several hours to 72 hours on each occasion. During an attack, there is often nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound, or normal activities, which can exacerbate symptoms, while a quiet environment and rest can provide relief. The condition can be controlled through lifestyle adjustments and medication.

During a migraine attack, various pain-relieving medications are used to terminate the pain, while in between attacks, the main objective is to prevent future migraines. However, long-term use of medication can have side effects and harm the body.

Research has shown that exposing migraine sufferers to LED green light for green light therapy can reduce the number of migraine days per month, the frequency of migraine attacks, and the duration and intensity of headaches, with no side effects. Additionally, using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) technology to treat the trigeminal nerve in the forehead with electrical pulses can alleviate migraines.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure provides a migraine treatment device that may have an eye mask structure.

According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a migraine treatment device is provided. The device may include a therapeutic device main body having a structure of an eye mask, where a fixed therapeutic electrode pad is placed on an upper inner side of the therapeutic device main body. Additionally, a green light emitting board may be placed inside the therapeutic device main body, where green light emitting diode (LED) lights may be evenly arranged on both sides of the green light emitting board.
