Fox & Friends To Feature StimPath Migraine Treatment and Ken Reed, M.D
A migraine treatment will be featured on Fox & Friends with Dr. Ken Reed on July 6, 2011. This treatment currently helps individuals who suffer from chronic pain.
- (1888PressRelease) June 30, 2011 - DALLAS, TX -- Ascendant Neuro announced today that renowned pain specialist, Ken Reed, M.D. will be featured on the top-rated morning show, FOX & Friends at 7:45 a.m. on Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Dr. Reed will discuss the successful use of the StimPath, a novel migraine treatment that offers relief to people who suffer from chronic migraine pain.
Dr. Reed, along with his colleague Kelly Will, M.D., were recently awarded the prestigious Cephalalgia Award from the International Headache Society for their ground-breaking research regarding the use of implantable neurostimulation for both the occipital and supraorbital nerves, a procedure called The StimPath Migraine Procedure.
Wires, implanted under the skin deliver electrical impulses-or neurostimulation-to the occipital and supraorbital nerves that cause headache pain. Dr. Reed compares the StimPath neurostimulator to a pacemaker.
"We've seen remarkable results with the StimPath migraine treatment," Dr. Reed says. "Patients with debilitating migraines who did not respond to treatments, medications like Imitrex, or other therapies now enjoy long-term relief from their headache pain. We've been tracking patients for nearly three years, and they report they are still pain free."
Nearly 36 million Americans of all ages suffer from chronic migraine pain. "Chronic migraine pain can take a devastating toll on a person's life," Dr. Reed says. "Often people can't work, they can't enjoy quality time with their family or friends, they become isolated and depressed. I'm glad FOX & Friends is focusing on this important health issue and providing viewers with information about this promising treatment."
