NTI Tension Suppression System
The FDA has cleared for marketing for the first time, a device that
prevents medically diagnosed migraine pain, tension-type headache, and
jaw disorders ("TMJ"), without drugs or surgery, through the reduction
of trigeminally innervated muscular activity.
What does "NTI" stand for?
Nociceptive (relating to the perception
of things that could be harmful); Trigeminal (the nerve that
controls the major muscle of mastication; Inhibition
Migraine Prevention -- Headache Prevention
The N.T.I. Tension Suppression System is a
prefabricated polycarbonate matrix that a dental practitioner retro-fits
to the patient's teeth . It is completely different from any other type
of mouthpiece.
Chronic symptoms of the head and
neck can often be attributed to:
A) Headache -- the temporalis muscle
(it closes and clenches the jaw)
B) Sinus pressure and pain -- the lateral pterygoid muscles
(it moves the jaw side to side and/or forward)
C) Neck stiffness and pain -- trapezius muscle (it
stabilizes the skull during jaw clenching and grinding)
 In
clinical trials reviewed by the FDA, 82% of medically diagnosed
migraine sufferers had a 77% average reduction of migraine pain
attacks within the first eight weeks of use.
