migraine pain OVERVIEW
Almost everyone has had a headache. Headache is the most common form of pain. It's a major reason people miss days at work or school or visit the doctor. The most common type of headache is a tension headache. Tension headaches are due to tight muscles in your shoulders, neck, scalp and jaw. They are often related to stress, depression or anxiety. You are more likely to get tension headaches if you work too much, don't get enough sleep.
THERAPY OVERVIEW
Low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) can provide noninvasive, safe and easy to apply method to treat migraine headaches and PEMF has a long term record of safety. A randomized single-blinded parallel-placebo
controlled study showed significant improvement of headache activity in the PEMF active group, while no
changes of headache parameters were seen in the placebo group in the first phase. The second and third part of the
study showed that improvements in the active group persisted even after an 8 month follow-up period. The study also showed that menstrual dependency of headache diminished the effect of PEMF treatment.

effectiveness
There was a significant improvement for the active group in terms of their headache days, duration's and
work-loss hours due to headache compared to the placebo group after 2 weeks. The added results of the assessment of the active group indicated a significant improvement in the days and duration of headaches, work-loss hours and
number of medications even after a following 4-8-month period. Headache intensity and the amount of medication
used for headache were reduced only in RM patients that had headaches which were not related to their menstrual
cycles.
