Abstract

A system and method for treating migraine headaches employs a readily portable and easy-to-operate head-mounted magnetic depolarizer (10) to generate a transient or alternating high-intensity magnetic field in and around the user's occipital lobe or other portion of the brain (1), thereby terminating the spreading depression phenomenon characterizing a migraine headache and its aura.

Claims (14)

1. A magnetic depolarizer system for the treatment of migraine headache, the system comprising:
a readily portable magnetic depolarizer adapted for placement at a specific location onto the head of a human being, the magnetic depolarizer having a least one electromagnetic coil that is capable of providing a time varying magnetic field having a peak intensity at some portion of the patient's cerebral cortex of at least 0.1 Tesla;
electrical circuitry connected to the magnetic depolarizer for providing an electrical current through the at least one electromagnetic coil, the electrical circuitry also including a patient operated switch for turning on the magnetic depolarizer system; and, a positioner adapted to affix the magnetic depolarizer system onto a specific region of the head of the human being.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the electrical circuitry of the magnetic depolarizer system includes a battery.
3. The system of claim 2 wherein the battery is rechargeable.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the magnetic depolarizer includes at least two coils, in a race-track, figure-eight configuration.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the magnetic depolarizer includes at least one ferromagnetic core.
6. The system of claim 1 wherein the electronic circuitry is adapted to deliver at least one time varying magnetic pulse.
7. The system of claim 6 wherein the length of the magnetic pulse is between approximately 1 microsecond and approximately 1,000 microseconds.
8. The system of claim 6 wherein the electronic circuitry is adapted to deliver a sequence of pulses comprising a plurality of time varying magnetic pulses, and wherein the magnetic pulses are delivered at a rate of between approximately 0.1 Hz and approximately 1,000 Hz.
9. The system of claim 8 wherein the sequence of pulses is delivered over a time period of between approximately 0.1 second and approximately 100 seconds.
10. The system of claim 1 wherein the positioner comprises a headgear adapted to accurately place the magnetic depolarizer at a specific location on the head of the human being.
11. The system of claim 10 wherein the headgear comprises a helmet of the type worn by bicycle riders.
12. The system of claim 10 wherein the headgear comprises at least one elastic band.
13. The system of claim 1, wherein the electrical circuitry also includes at least one operating parameter that is preset by a physician
14. A system for the treatment of a migraine headache in a patient, the system comprising:
a readily portable magnetic depolarizer adapted for placement at a specific location onto the head of the patient, wherein the magnetic depolarizer is capable of providing a time varying magnetic field having a peak intensity at some portion of the patient's cerebral cortex of at least 0.1 Tesla;
a patient-operated switch for activating the magnetic depolarizer; and a positioner for placing the magnetic depolarizer onto a specific region of the head of the patient.
