Migraine Eased With the Help of New Nose Spray
Contrary to oral medications which require minimum ― an hour for the first signs of relief, this powder reaches the bloodstream within few minutes. The drug used is triptan- in the powdered form. Triptan pills are widely used to treat migraine. Pain signals are blocked because of triptan, thus providing relief from pain. Triptan also causes contraction of blood vessels around the brain. This is important as migraines are caused by sudden dilation of blood vessels, in response to triggers like stress or alcohol.
It has been reported that during the clinical trials nearly 6 out of 10 patients were completely pain-free after 2hours. 54% patients who took a 10mg dose and 57% who took a 20mg dose did not have pain after few hours. Chairman of Migraine Action's medical advisory board, Andrew Dowson, said, "This is very clever technology which is a new way of delivering an established migraine drug. It works more effectively and more quickly, and has fewer side effects."
