Treatment of neuropathic migraine:

A comprehensive physical therapy

"Comprehensive physical therapy" includes electroacupuncture therapy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy, electrical excitation therapy, meridian leveling therapy, and massage therapy. Treatment is based on a course of treatment. Generally, one course of treatment is one month. After one month of comprehensive hospitalization, the patient can go home and continue to take medication. For many chronic cases, the course of the disease is more than 10-20 years, and the hospitalization time needs to be appropriately extended. Continuous treatment can be 2-3 months, and most patients can recover. In addition to the above-mentioned comprehensive treatment measures, the most important thing for hospitalization is psychological adjustment, because this disease is a neuropsychological disease, and better results will be achieved in combination with psychological treatment. In an inpatient setting, psychologists can have detailed conversations with patients to discuss the causes of the disease and preventive measures. Patients can communicate with each other, encourage each other, and discuss the treatment process and effects. Treatment in a relaxed and soothing atmosphere will achieve better results. The inpatient environment of our headache specialist clinic is quite special. It is completely different from the messy inpatient conditions in large hospitals. The environment is relatively beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the doctor-patient relationship is harmonious.

Relaxation therapy for headaches

Relaxation therapy, as an auxiliary therapy for drug treatment, is a treatment method that uses subjective imagination and objective measures to achieve muscle relaxation, mental stability and reduce anxiety. Relaxation therapy, as an important part of psychological and behavioral treatment to reduce anxiety, can significantly relieve various nervous headaches, migraines, insomnia, anxiety, depression, neurasthenia, etc. caused by mental factors. As we all know, factors such as mental anxiety and nervous excitement can cause spasms in the scalp and neck and back muscles, resulting in a tight feeling of the scalp and causing headaches and dizziness. Tension or emotional stimulation can aggravate the symptoms, accompanied by anxiety, irritability, palpitations, sweating, neck and back pain, tinnitus, inattention, memory loss and other neurological symptoms. It may be complicated by other neurological symptoms such as depressive symptoms and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The pathogenesis of the disease is anxiety-muscle spasm. These two factors are causally related to each other, and over time they will cause a vicious cycle: anxiety-spasm-headache-insomnia. Its treatment is based on its pathogenesis: suppress anxiety - relieve spasms. Non-drug treatments mainly include relaxation therapy. There are many causes of headaches and sleep disturbances. The key to treating headaches and sleep disorders is to regulate and restore the balance of excitement and inhibition in the human nervous system. Relaxation training can relax the bones, muscles, ligaments, blood vessels, and nerves throughout the body. Assisted by relaxing music and appropriate temperature, it can regulate nervous psychology, adjust the balance of excitement and inhibition of the nervous system, achieve physical and mental relaxation, and transform the activity of the body's autonomic nervous system in a direction that is conducive to relaxation and sleep, thereby improving headaches and sleep. Relaxation therapy is guided by a holistic perspective. In addition to local muscle relaxation training, it also emphasizes whole-body relaxation training in coordination with deep breathing. Therefore, it makes it easier for patients to enter a relaxed state and at the same time achieve a deeper level of relaxation. Patients report that the effect is quick. Another feature is that the mind-body relaxation method, through benign language induction and special visual imagination training, makes it easier for patients to have a pleasant peak experience after relaxation, thereby improving the patient's previous negative emotional experience. On the basis of relaxing the muscles of the whole body, the patient can experience simultaneous spiritual and psychological relaxation. Therefore, simultaneous relaxation of the body and mind is the outstanding feature of psychosomatic relaxation therapy, and this method can be considered a kind of psychophysiological therapy. Mind-body relaxation therapy has no drug side effects, and because it has the effect of treating both the mind and body, it is particularly suitable for patients with headaches and sleep disorders accompanied by emotional disorders and behavioral disorders. Relaxation therapy can effectively relieve stress and has a good therapeutic effect on insomnia caused by stress. The headaches in neurotic patients are functional headaches, mostly characterized by a feeling of heaviness and pressure in the head. Relaxation therapy has an unparalleled effect on such symptoms. It also has significant therapeutic effects on psychosomatic diseases such as anxiety states, nervous tics, neurasthenia, hypertension, colitis, coronary heart disease, asthma, and gastric ulcers.

The patient is in a quiet environment, lying comfortably on the sofa or bed, resting quietly for 10-15 minutes, eliminating distracting thoughts, and keeping the body and mind relaxed.

Practice for 30 minutes, 1-2 times a day. It is best to do it at noon or before going to bed at night. After completing relaxation training, you will naturally fall into a completely relaxed state of sleep and wake up with a clear mind and full of energy. Generally, one course of treatment consists of 15 to 20 sessions. As long as you persist in the training, you will definitely get good results.

Three drug treatments

1. Vasoconstrictors: Ergotamine is a powerful vasoconstrictor, suitable for the prevention of the prodromal stage of migraine. Such as ergotamine caffeine, used before a headache occurs.

2. Magnesium preparations: Magnesium ions can reduce the excitability of the central nervous system, block sympathetic ganglia, relax vascular smooth muscles, and dilate blood vessels. You can take 15 ml of 33% magnesium sulfate orally 3 times a day.

3. Calcium-ion antagonists: The main mechanism of action of this type of drug is to block the slow calcium ion channel, inhibit the release of serotonin and thromboxane A2 by platelets, persistently inhibit vasoconstrictive substances and dilate blood vessels, thereby improving vascular vasodilation and contraction function. These drugs include nitroglycerin, pindolol, nemopine, cefotaxime and flunarizine hydrochloride.

4. Analgesics: The main purpose of using this type of medicine is to relieve or eliminate the pain of headache. Because the drug can combine with opioid receptors in the brain, it stimulates the anti-pain system in the brain, increases the pain threshold, and thus exhibits analgesic effects. Commonly used drugs include aspirin, chlorpromazine, chlorpromazine, carbamazepine and chlorpromazine.

5. Anti-anxiety and sedatives: This type of drug can reduce the patient's mental tension and anxiety and inhibit the excitability of the central nervous system. Such as sildenafil, fenalidone, doxepin and chlordiazepoxide.

6. Other drugs: including tadalafil, tofu-2 (Kunming Shenshuai fruit tablets), compound danshen tablets, indomethacin, etc., which can also achieve certain therapeutic effects.

Other treatments: biofeedback therapy, hemodilution therapy, acupoint injection, procaine local blockade, acupuncture and meridian therapy, etc.

Through the above introduction, we have some understanding of the treatment methods of neurogenic migraine. The above treatment methods are all good choices and can stabilize the patient's disease well.
