An exciting new study shows that some migraine patients may be able to cut down on medication – or stop using it completely – by using a newly developed inhaler that changes the composition of the air they breathe.
The eleven patients who participated in the pilot study suffer from migraine with aura, which is where they experience either sensory or visual disturbances before the painful headaches begin.
Over the course of the randomized double-blind study from 2016 to 2017, the patients self-treated 41 migraine attacks. The participants were instructed to use the device at the onset of first aura symptoms, followed after 40 minutes by a second use.
The research results show that the effect of the pain relief increased significantly with each use of the inhaler. After the first use, 45% of the patients experienced relief – and that number rose to 78% after the second use.
