I am on propanalol, tompamax, and imitrex nasal sprays for them. These are not helping at all. Narcotics have been tried to no avail. Finally my neuro suggested botox for them. I had the injections a week and a day ago. Suddenly I have no head pain! I still seem to get the migraines but not the pain or nausea associated with them. The pounding of my head with no pain is strange to feel. But to tell you the honest truth, being out of pain has made such a difference. I am going to look into this splint you have linked to. I am not able to wear the traditional splints as I don't tolerate them at all. I have to wear a cpap at night and have had to go to the nose pillows because the other was just too much pressure on my head.

Yes. Do I believe or trust the claim that this device can prevent Migraines? Absolutely not. That would be like a drug company claiming they can prevent Epilepsy because they can minimize your seizures. Epilepsy is the disease and seizures are the symptom just like headaches are a symptom of Migraine disease. To say you can prevent Migraine is an extremely misleading statement - one that takes advantage of the millions of Migraineurs attempting to find that one thing - anything - that will prevent their next attack.

The doctor I talked to about the NTI-tss device had had remarkable success. It works in such a way to keep muscles from clenching in the way they typically do. He had seen a dramatic improvement in almost all of his patients. That's just one practitioner, but I think it says something that this device has been so popular. That’s great news, Elizabeth!

I have also complained of TMJ issues and just recently read about the association with headaches, jaw, neck and shoulder pain etc. My dentist suggested I try a 'Bite Soft Anterior Splint' and since using this device (for just over a month) I have had not had to have an Imigran injection - compared to an average of 4/month for many years. My facial pain has diminished greatly as have the really painful headaches/migraines. I still have had a few little "niggles" but my chiropractor has been able to get rid of these in just one visit!!! I have had a marked improvement in my quality of life and hopefully things will continue to improve. Thus, I urge anyone with pain similar to mine to read about TMJ disorders and consider trying a device such as I have :) I have been suffering weekly headaches/migraines, lasting up to 3 days, for over 5 years and have tried all sorts of preventative/management therapies.
