The NTI (Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System), a tiny mouthpiece that hugs the two front teeth may bring relief to the 40 million Americans who suffer from migraine and tension headaches. The Food and Drug Administration approved the new device as a headache treatment last summer. It can also help people who have other TMJ symptoms such as popping or clicking in their jaws or excessive wear on their teeth. The NTI, an acrylic mini-splint that fits over the teeth reduces the intensity of jaw-clenching during sleep, and the headache pain that comes along with it. Patients typically get relief from tension headaches within the first week, but with migraines it may take a few weeks. In a clinical trial on patients who averaged two migraines a month, 82 percent of the patients reported a 77 percent average reduction in their migraine frequency. Also, the NTI patients reduced their use of migraine medication (Imitrex) by 46.8% Dr. Albert Boholst has fabricated several NTI’s and has had great success
with them. |
