Migraines and other Headaches 

Migraines and headaches encompass a range of pain experiences, from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. Migraines are often associated with intense throbbing or pulsing in one area of the head and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. These conditions can significantly impair daily functioning, affecting one’s ability to work, interact with others, and enjoy life. Headaches, while sometimes less severe, can still cause substantial discomfort and interfere with daily activities. Recognizing and addressing migraines and headaches is crucial, as timely intervention and effective migraine treatment can provide relief, reduce the frequency and intensity of episodes, and improve overall quality of life.

What is Migraines and other Headaches 

Migraines and other headaches range from mild discomfort in the head to severe, debilitating pain that impacts daily life. Migraines often present as intense, throbbing headaches, usually on one side of the head, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Chronic headaches, including tension headaches, can cause persistent pain that affects concentration and overall quality of life. Addressing these conditions is crucial, as untreated migraines and headaches can impair an individual’s ability to work, maintain relationships, and enjoy everyday activities.

At Oasis Therapeutics, we offer advanced treatments for migraines and headaches, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Ketamine Infusions, Stellate Ganglion Blocks, and Magnetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (mPNS). TMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate brain areas involved in pain regulation, reducing the frequency and severity of migraines. Ketamine Infusions provide rapid relief by modulating pain pathways in the brain, effective for severe migraines. Stellate Ganglion Blocks interrupt sympathetic nerve activity, offering relief for chronic headaches. mPNS uses targeted electrical pulses to stimulate peripheral nerves, reducing pain and improving function. These therapies represent significant advancements in care, providing effective solutions and hope for those suffering from debilitating migraines and headaches.
