Migraine is the #1 disability in adults under 50 years of age.
It's time for a logical method of prevention.
What people are saying...
Are you sick of waking up with a headache?
Researchers had once believed that headache pain upon waking was a sign of “medication rebound”, or residual migraine pain, or due to the sufferer’s anxiety.
New research has confirmed that “morning headache” is an integral part of migraine disease.
Migraine is a dysfunction of the Trigeminal cranial nerve, primarily the sensory center (or “nucleus”). The Trigeminal Sensory Nucleus can become dysfunctional following excessive input of negative information, or “nociception”, resulting in a release of the neuropeptide that is responsible for migraine pain.
During sleep, in most every chronic migraine sufferer, the “motor” division of the Trigeminal nerve causes intense pathologic hyperactivity to the muscles that cover the temples, resulting in a bombardment of nociception back to the sensory nucleus, resulting in waking with varying degrees of headache, to full-blown migraine.
Now available without a prescription, the NTI MigraineGuard (NTI = Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition) is an intra-oral, custom-fabricated medical device that specifically blocks the Trigeminal motor hyperactivity, thereby minimizing any nociception, resulting in a profound reduction in the disability
caused by migraine pain, and a significant improvement in the quality of life for the chronic migraine sufferer.

How Traditional Therapy Misses The Mark
Traditionally, when a patient reports that they wake with a headache, a dental protective splint, or "nightguard," is often prescribed. The splint has two objectives: to protect the teeth from the damage of potential grinding; and to provide a balanced biting surface, so as to stabilize the jaw joints during clenching.
However, the one thing the splint cannot do is minimize the intensity of the the muscular hyperactivity. In fact, the presence of the splint can allow muscular (clenching) intensity to increase beyond the already pathologic level.
The traditional mouthpiece can make headaches worse.
Providing a surface to clench on can allow for an increase in pathologic muscular intensity, while the NTI MigraineGuard minimizes intensity by providing for a single anterior point contact.
