Migraine treatment will be the topic of discussion on Top Docs on July 24th with Dr. Ken Reed. This procedure offers long lasting relief to migraine sufferers.
- Dallas, TX (1888PressRelease) July 26, 2011 - Ascendant Neuro announced today that migraine treatment will be discussed by renowned pain specialist Ken Reed, M.D. on Dallas-Fort Worth's Sunday morning show Top Docs at 10 a.m. on July 24 on KDFW-TV. Dr. Reed will discuss the StimPath procedure that offers long-lasting relief to people who no longer respond to migraine medications or other treatments.
Joining Dr. Reed on Top Docs will be Amy Taylor, a young woman who suffered from severe migraines for 15 years before she underwent the StimPath treatment. "I couldn't do anything," Amy said. "I couldn't go out. I literally had no life. My body had become so accustomed to the pain medications that nothing worked for me anymore."
Amy's dilemma isn't uncommon. "Most people, even with very severe headaches, will respond to traditional headache medication and other treatments," Dr. Reed said. "The problem comes when over time, a lot of these medications just stop working. Most of these patients are very good candidates for the StimPath procedure."
Dr. Reed, along with his colleague Kelly Will, M.D., were recently awarded the prestigious Cephalalgia Award from the International Headache Society for their groundbreaking research regarding the StimPath treatment. During the procedure, small wires are implanted under the skin so they are undetectable. Although they can't be seen, these wires deliver electrical impulses-or neurostimulation-to the occipital and supraorbital nerves that cause severe headache pain.
The StimPath migraine treatment successfully eliminated Amy's pain. "It's a life changer," she says. "It gives people back their lives."
