Migraine is one of the most common diseases in our age. Experts say that 6 percent of men and 18 percent of women in the world suffer from migraine. Factors that cause migraine pain include stress, tension, wrong eating habits, and sleep disorder. “Neural therapy” applied to people with migraine, defined as unbearable headache, offers an alternative treatment option that focuses on the cause, not the pain.
GENETIC SUITABILITY CAN ALSO CAUSE MIGRAINES
Medicana International Ankara Hospital Neurology Specialist Dr. Songül Turğut stated that the treatment of migraine requires difficult and long-term efforts. Giving information about migraine, which brings great risks if no immediate action is taken, Turgut suggested “neural therapy” as an alternative solution. Stating that alternative methods have emerged in the treatment of migraine depending on the development of technology and medicine, Turğut stated that the neural therapy method focuses on the cause of migraine. Turğut stated that the aim of neural therapy is to find and regulate the cause of migraine complaints.
Doctor Turğut pointed out that migraine, which is defined as a headache that occurs in attacks, can also be accompanied by complaints such as nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision. Stating that migraine occurs due to changes in blood vessels and neurotransmitters in the brain, Turğut said, “It is also known today that migraine has a genetic predisposition. In the treatment of migraine, antiepileptic, antiarrhythmic and antidepressant drug treatments are available and these treatments are still symptomatic. In other words, it is aimed at relieving pain,” he said. Turğut explained that neural therapy is aimed at eliminating the cause of the pain rather than relieving the pain.
AVOID STRESS TO RELIEVE MIGRAINE PAINS
Medicana International Ankara Hospital Neurology Specialist Dr. Songül Turğut stated that healthy eating habits are of great importance in the treatment of migraine. Turgut gave the following information about the measures to be taken against the disease:

Irregular life, inactivity, changing climatic conditions are also among the reasons that increase migraine. Stressful situations, especially in business and private life, trigger migraine.
