The Migraine Stopper uses Neuromodulation, a technique that has been shown to relieve migraine pain in clinical tests.
Neuromodulation is the activation of a specific nerve to help alleviate a symptom in a patient. The Migraine Stopper supplies a gentle and precise “push and pull” effect on the ear canal and ear drum. Moving the ear canal and ear drum in this way may cause stimulation of two specific cranial nerves — the trigeminal nerve and the vagus nerve.
Research shows that stimulation of the trigeminal nerve and stimulation of the Vagus nerve may have a neuromodulation effect of calming down the overactive part of the brain involved in migraine.
