Migraine patients know what migraine is and how it wears people out; And of course, their closest ones. Suffering from unbearable headaches almost every day makes a person miserable and disrupts both his family life, his work life (if he is a working person) and his entire social life. There are many migraine patients who have difficulty accepting and visiting guests at home, and therefore their social relationships are gradually damaged. Unfortunately, there is a lack of tolerance today; This poor clinical picture of the patient is generally associated with that person's personality, creating negative prejudices. However; This is not a situation that the patient has control over.
Drugs currently used in migraine treatment; It either aims to prevent the feeling of pain before pain occurs, or it aims to alleviate or eliminate the current pain crisis. So, despite all these pharmacological mechanisms of action, why do drugs often fail to treat migraine permanently? Because they cannot erase the feeling of pain recorded by the brain. Now, in brief; Let me try to explain the attitude of our brain towards pain in a way you can understand:
Our brain absorbs all kinds of stimuli coming to it (pain, heat, pressure, chemical stimulus, electrical stimulus, etc.) It receives it through “Thalamus”. Thalamus functions as a regional traffic station; It evaluates the incoming stimuli in the information processing center, filters them if necessary and sends them to the cortex areas of the brain. Because, the brain will make the final decision regarding the reactions that should be shown to the processed stimuli and the brain is the Chief of Staff of the entire central nervous system. The last word and the final decision belongs to him.
If a pain stimulus is constantly sent to the brain at a certain intensity; After about 6 months, this pain information begins to be recorded by the brain; just like the recordings made by the hard disks in our computers... If this pain information is not deleted and continues to be recorded in all its intensity, eventually this information will become permanent in almost all of the neurons (nerve cells) of our brain.
- Now let's think about it; Can drugs erase such powerful recorded information?
- Can we erase the ink with a normal pencil eraser?
Just like in the example I gave; Medicines cannot erase this powerful recorded pain information. Trying to erase it with drugs; It means trying to erase the writing written in ink with a pencil eraser. For these reasons, no medication used in the treatment of migraine can provide permanent improvement, on the contrary, it makes the event more chronic.
Now let's come to the treatment of migraine with ACUPUNCTUR…
Acupuncture, the body's very powerful therapeutic systems that exist from creation (pharmacological drug system); It is a side-effectless treatment that activates scientifically defined command-control points (i.e. acupuncture points) by stimulating or suppressing them. Just as we can display the information on our computer's hard disk on the screen and perform operations when we press the keys on our computer's keyboard (command-control keys) at the right time and in the right way; We can also do the same by stimulating-suppressing these acupuncture points.
- So how can we be successful in a truly challenging disease like migraine?
- As I tried to explain above, the real problem in migraine treatment is obstacle; It is chronic (recurrent) pain information that has been recorded very strongly. What should be done?
First of all, we need to delete the area filled with pain information on the hard disk of our brain as much as possible and replace it with pain information. It is necessary to upload powerful painkiller(analgesic) information. Without this (i.e. without deleting the pain information), any treatment will fail. Just like in computers… For example, let's say the volume of your disk space is; 4 GB, but it is fully occupied. However, you want to upload 1 GB of information to your computer. To do this, you must first create at least 1 GB of free space on your 4 GB disk; That is, you have to delete 1 GB.
We do the same process of deleting and loading new information through acupuncture. Depending on the duration of chronicity of the case and the severity of the crises, at least 15-20 times. session acupuncture treatment by making a work plan (twice a week); First, we give acupuncture stimulation to delete the pain information and then to load the pain-killing (analgesic) information. Thus, with repeated sessions (just like antibiotics taken twice a day kill germs), migraine can be relieved. Most of the time, we seek treatment successfully. That's why acupuncture provides permanent clinical improvement in migraine. Most importantly, we are effective without causing side effects.
