Biofeedback Therapy For Migraines: Empower Pain Relief with JOGO

JOGO’s Innovative Therapies

Migraines are debilitating headaches characterized by severe throbbing and pulsating pain restricted to one side of the head. These recurrent attacks range from mild to very severe pain. Migraines are generated from nerve fibres in the walls of blood vessels that travel through the meninges that protect the brain and spinal cord.

Another significant migraine therapy is JOGO’s EMG Biofeedback. In this therapy, our JOGO experts use an Electromyogram (EMG) device to monitor skeletal muscle tension. The device’s electrodes are attached to three specific upper-body muscles that tend to tense up prior to a migraine attack.

By monitoring the muscle activity, patients can identify the signs of an oncoming migraine and reduce muscle tension in the head, neck and shoulders. This therapeutic approach effectively reduces migraine frequency and intensity, as well as overall stress.

JOGO Health offers digital therapeutics solutions for chronic migraines, incorporating biofeedback therapies. The protocol for managing migraines is derived from the JOGO Migraine study published in the Journal of Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback.

Types of Migraines We Treat At JOGO

Migraine With Aura

This type of migraine is also known as a Classic migraine. It strikes at any time of the day and may occur with or without headaches. Although classic migraines last no longer than an hour, the person may temporarily lose all or a part of their vision. The person may experience the following symptoms about ten minutes or an hour before the actual migraine:

Visual disturbances
General confusion
Numbness
Nausea
Difficulty in speaking.

Loss of appetite.
Extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
Tingling sensation in the hands or face
Muscle weakness on one side of the body

Migraine Without Aura

Also known as Common Migraine, this is more frequent and characterised by a sudden occurrence with the pain restricted to one side of the head. During the migraine, the person may experience:

Nausea and vomiting
Blurred vision
Mood swings

Excessive fatigue
Extreme sensitivity to light sound.

Chronic Migraine

Chronic migraine is a combination of migraine and tension headaches, which can sometimes be triggered by the overuse of specific medications. These migraines can last for at least two weeks, leading to hypertension, mental depression, anxiety, and arthritis.

JOGO’s Pain-Relief Therapies For Migraine Attacks

EMG Biofeedback

By using real-time EMG biofeedback, you can learn to control muscle tension that occurs before the onset of a migraine attack. This therapy also teaches relaxation techniques to reduce stress-related migraine triggers.

Therapeutic moist heat

One potential way to alleviate migraine headaches is by applying moist heat to the neck and shoulder region, which can relieve muscle tension.

Therapeutic cold compression

Cold compression with ice can numb the area and minimize inflammation, which can, in turn, alleviate migraine headaches.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

TENS units deliver electrical impulses to nerves, which may help disrupt pain signals associated with migraines.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation or EMS

EMS therapy may help relieve migraines by relaxing tense muscles and increasing blood flow.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Ultrasound therapy is a go-to solution for relieving muscle tension, especially in the head, neck, and shoulder regions. It is also an ideal option for inducing relaxation to alleviate migraine symptoms.

Therapeutic & functional exercises

Therapeutic exercises can help enhance posture and mobility and aid muscle strength. This combined effort addresses migraine triggers like poor posture and muscle strain and effectively minimises the intensity and frequency of migraines.

Muscle stretching & strengthening

Strengthening and stretching exercises, especially for the neck and shoulder muscles, can help improve posture and reduce tension that may trigger migraines.

JOGO’s EMG Biofeedback Therapy

A Wonder Solution For Migraines

JOGO’s EMG biofeedback therapy is a pain-free, non-invasive, and effective method for migraine management. This complementary treatment option is also safe for pregnant women since it significantly minimises the need for pain-relieving medication.

If you're looking for a reliable way to minimise muscle tension and stress that often cause migraines, you might want to consider EMG biofeedback. This option is not only safe but also proven to be effective, giving you more control over your overall health and well-being.

More About JOGO’s Treatment For Migraine

How does JOGO harness EMG Biofeedback to control migraine occurrences?

JOGO’s Biofeedback helps minimise migraines by utilising the following methodologies:

Reducing muscle tension

Tension and tightness of the head and neck muscles are common when you experience intense migraines. JOGO’s EMG biofeedback helps you identify this tightness and consciously try to minimise the muscle tension in your neck, head, and shoulders.

Stress reduction technique

Mental stress and tension can trigger migraine headaches. JOGO’s EMG Biofeedback facilitates a relaxed and stress-free mind with stress management exercises. This technique also helps minimise the severity and frequency of stress-induced migraines.

What happens during EMG biofeedback therapy?

During the EMG biofeedback therapy, our experts will:

Place electrodes on the particular site of concern to record electrical activities. These recordings represent the combined action potential generated by numerous muscle fibres.
Use EMG sensors to detect electrical activity which is displayed on the screen. By observing the display, you can be aware of the muscle tension levels and devise methods to control them.

What are JOGO’s techniques for migraine management?

We rely on:

Tension Recognition
Tension Discrimination
Tension Deactivation

What are JOGO’s outcome measurement tests used for migraine assessment?

Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS)
Headache Impact Test (HIT)
Pain Catastrophising Scale (PCS)
Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)
