Pilot Program in the UK for the SpringTMS Total Migraine System (video)

The SpringTMSâ„¢ Total Migraine System is a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device that is being tested for migraine treatment.  So far, it’s looking like it’s going to help a lot of migraine patients.

Actually, we’ve been talking about these systems here at least since 2005.  TMS systems for migraine direct a quick pulse to the brain which seems to stop the migraine chain-reaction in some people.

Now that there have been some positive results, the challenge is to create a device which will be small enough and work simply enough so that the normal migraineur can carry one with them.

eNeura is one of the companies hoping to get a useful TMS device to you.  There are now several clinics in the UK which will offer the SpringTMSâ„¢ Total Migraine System for a prescription.  These include, according to Migraine Action:

• Charing Cross Hospital, London
• Royal Free Hospital, London
• Department of Neurology, Northampton General Hospital, Northampton
• Royal United Hospital, Bath
• Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Liverpool
• University Hospital of North Staffordshire, Princes Road, Stoke-on-Trent
• Hull Royal Infirmary, Hull
• St Thomas Health Centre, Exeter

For more information, along with contact information, read the Spring TMS Total Migraine System Update from Migraine Action.
