Abstract :
    Introduction: Migraine headaches, which is one of the most common types of headache among people, is one of the most important issues studied by researchers today, and its diagnosis and treatment are among the medical priorities. Migraine disrupts the nervous system and causes narrowing of the arteries connected to the trigeminal nerve in the head. Materials and Methods: The device that is designed and built to solve this problem should gradually eliminate these blockages by using a controlled electric current at a certain time. But it should be noted that before any treatment, the source must first be One of the things that was done was to compare MRIs, some for healthy people and some for migraines. Results: There were 60 subjects in each of the control and study groups who were age- and sex-matched. The mean age of the case group was 39.3. 6.9 years and the control group was 38.6. 6.2 years. 35 patients (58.3%) in the control group had a white matter signal in the supratentorial brain, while 12 patients (20%) in the control group had the above changes in MRI. P = 0.000 Conclusion: The side effects of drug treatment and the harm it leaves on the body encourage us more and more to resort to physical therapy instead of using chemical drugs. Now we want this treatment to be by a device or to perform a series of activities. Daily treatment that we will fully review in the following.
