RELIEF for Treatment-Resistant Migraines
These days, we expect modern mainstream medicine to have a drug for every problem that pops up.
So when you find out you have a treatment-resistant condition, it can be extra frustrating.
It means that while certain treatments might work for some people, they don’t work for you.
Migraines often fall into this category. But all that might be about to change.
Because researchers recently uncovered a treatment so effective that it can often tackle even treatment-resistant migraine pain.
Ketamine has been in the news lately as a “controversial” treatment for depression.
There’s nothing controversial about it in my book. Solid science shows it works great—and often when NOTHING else does.
(Click here to read more about it.)
Now it turns out it could ALSO work against migraines… even when nothing else does.
This study included 242 people with refractory chronic migraines. This is just a fancy way of saying that they resist treatment.
These migraines can last for several days, and I’m sure you can imagine (or maybe you know firsthand) how disruptive they can be to your daily life.
The volunteers in this study had daily headaches, as well as anxiety and depression. All had also tried at least three preventive medications without success.
Throughout the study, they used 6-10 sprays of ketamine in the nostril per day on average, about 10 days per month.
After several months, 49 percent of the individuals described ketamine as “very effective” against their migraines. And 36 percent reported that they had improved quality of life.
However, 40 percent said it was only “somewhat effective.”
And 11 percent said it didn’t have any effect at all.
Clearly, this treatment doesn’t work for everyone battling treatment-resistant migraines. But no solution does. And in my view, it’s worth a try to see if you’re in the nearly 50 percent of people for whom it could be “very effective.”
Ketamine is what’s called a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor agonist. When you Inhibit this receptor, it can block pain transmission signals.
It also helps reduce inflammation.
Ketamine is also known as a dissociative anesthetic. That means it can, in essence, separate you from the pain sensations.
If you suffer from these types of migraines, ask your doctor about trying prescription ketamine nasal spray.
P.S. Researchers uncovered a key vitamin deficiency that could be to blame for many severe migraines. Simply restoring its levels could be the key to knocking out headache pain. CLICK HERE for all the details.
