Application of technology in treating migraine

Wazzup Pilipinas! 

The use of technology has already made everything easy in performing tasks that will generally benefit humans. According to the application of technology in treating migraine, a migraine device, and other neuromodulation devices are used in the control of the different body systems by either enhancing or suppressing it. 

The use of neuromodulation devices is very effective in reducing the severe pain associated with migraine attacks. In the application of neuromodulation devices for treating migraines, the device makes use of a certain voltage of electric current or magnet depending on the device model to evaluate the on-activities in the brain. 

That’s not all because most of these devices have the ability to prevent or stop a severe migraine attack that’s on the way. These positive effect of technology in health produced by the neuromodulation devices aid in the stimulation and modulation of the brain nerves. These devices are very portable to carry around as the design structures are mostly made to fit around the head. 

Since the introduction of the neuromodulation devices for treating migraine headaches, no side effects have been recorded. Meaning that the device is risk-free to use according to FDA who approved it. Here are ways of which the application of technology is used in treating migraines: 

Pain relief without pills

Not everyone likes the use of the pill for relieving their migraine pains, especially when most of these pills have side effects. The use of a migraine device can easily terminate the vital effects of migraine headaches without even taking any drugs. The process won’t even have you worrying about any side effects because it has none. As a patient suffering from the attacks of migraine headaches, you only need to turn this device on twice or three times a day. Another amazing thing about the neuromodulation devices is that you can even use them when you are also taking medications.

Providing easy to use wearables

Just as explained above, most of the migraine treatment devices are designed as a wearable technology, which makes it accurate in reading the body system when worn. An example of these devices is Cefaly, which is professionally approved by the FDA. The Cefaly migraine device that uses its electrical capabilities in the stimulation of the body nerves and muscles that are located around the head to reduce your migraine pain.


Portable devices that can be used anytime

Apart from Cefaly, there are other portable neuromodulation devices that can be used anytime. The neuromodulation devices can be used depending on the individual condition suffering the migraine attacks. This can be determined and prescribed by the neurologist treating the patient after a thorough examination.


Devices are created based on past data or information

Technological development mostly depends on the use of past defected information to recreate something with more potential. The use of migraine devices is still going on and there’s no doubt that in next few years to come, several breakthroughs will be made. For example, the Cefaly wearable device was introduced in the United States around 2013 as the first potential device for treating migraines. However, several breakthroughs and new developments have been developed since then to now with the aid of past recorded data and information.


Providing competent and self care devices

The migraine wearable devices are now leading a role in the treatment of migraine headaches. This is possible because of the technology’s impeccable accuracy and effectiveness in preventing migraines. Several brands have emerged today in the development of migraine devices with a solid aim of eradicating the severe effects of migraine headaches from everyone.


Conclusion

The application of technology for medical treatment is a creative improvement in treating severe illnesses like migraine headaches. Each of these migraine devices performs different tasks based on their features. For people that don’t like taking medications as the treatment method of preventing the vital effects of a migraine headache, using a migraine treatment device will gradually stimulate tour nerves and body muscles back to its original state and eradicate migraines.

Chadwick "Black Panther" Boseman Dies of Cancer

"He was a gentle soul and a brilliant artist, who will stay with us for eternity through his iconic performances over his short yet illustrious career. God bless Chadwick Boseman" -  Denzel Washington

"It was the highest honor getting to work with you and getting to know you. What a generous and sincere human being. You believed in the sacred nature of the work and gave your all. Much love to your family..." - Mark Ruffalo

Chadwick Boseman, who featured as a main actor in Black Panther, dies of cancer at 43 years of age.

I'm beginning to think Thanos was real and that he clicked his fingers at the start of 2020.

It’s like 2020 is being run by Thanos as he is acquiring all the stones and about to snap his fingers.

Chadwick Boseman was really fighting two battles. One was against thanos, and the other was his cancer.

He really battled Thanos, Killmonger, and half the Avengers, all whilst battling cancer as well. Quite literally a legend. He will not be forgotten.

Black Panther will always be one of the coolest movies I’ve ever watched all because of Boseman!

That final clip of Black Panther leading the charge against Thanos in the ‘Portals’ scene of Endgame will never be the same again. Rest easy Chadwick Boseman. Thank you for filling our hearts with so much excitement at the movies. There will never be another Black Panther!

I wish, Thanos for once, could just snap his fingers and you’d still be here, Cancer-free, with us.

You did good champ! Who's going to play your role? Gone to soon!

I’ll never forget the chills I got when Captain America looked like he was gonna get killed by Thanos then Black Panther came out.

No more Black Panther. They couldn’t have beaten Thanos without you. Love you 3000.

Rest in power, king. Wakanda Forever!

WWF-PH Welcomes Robi Domingo as the Newest Addition to the Panda Family

Wazzup Pilipinas?!

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines welcomed Robi Domingo to the Panda family as the newest addition to their roster of celebrity ambassadors, helping the organization spread awareness on the importance of planetary health to human health.

The actor, who rose to fame as a finalist in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition, shared that his 2017 documentary series, which brought him to different parts of the country, inspired him to use his voice and platform to promote environmental conservation.

“I got to go and see the different parts of the country, from places like Mt. Apo to Malapascua, and every trip I would say, ‘Wow, ang ganda ng Pilipinas’. I want to share these amazing stories to the people, and by working with WWF-Philippines, they [people] will learn the value of environmental conservation. I firmly believe in the thinking that if we take care of the world, the world will also take care of us”, Domingo said.

Growing up in an environmentally-conscious household inspired Domingo to adapt sustainable practices in his lifestyle—from simply bringing his own tumblers and utensils, to lessen single-use plastic consumption. He also bikes as much as possible to reduce carbon emission, and even insists on going digital for project scripts to lessen paper use.

The pre-medicine graduate joins fellow Ateneo alumna Janine Gutierrez as the organization’s newest National Youth Ambassador, and will work together with the WWF-PH National Youth Council (NYC) to encourage active participation from the youth sector in environmental conservation. Despite being the newest addition to the group, Domingo showcased great chemistry with the NYC during the Conservation Conversation: Wild Youth livestream event last August 28, discussing facts about the Tamaraw, the world’s rarest and most endangered buffalo, and raised funds for Tamaraw Conservation in Mindoro.

As a self-proclaimed “kuripot”, Domingo also aims to shed light on how being environmentally pragmatic can lead not only to financial gain, but also saving lives and the planet in the process.

WWF-Philippines looks forward to working alongside Robi to urge everyone, especially the youth, to #ChangeTheEnding for the planet and make a difference for current and future generations of Filipinos.
