Picture from Brain games used to treat migraines
“Play two video games and call me in the morning.”

NBC Health reports that there’s a new treatment available for migraine sufferers. There may be a new way to prevent the horrible headaches without drugs. Sensors, attached to the scalp, read the brain waves in order to convert them into a video game on a screen. Then, people are able to play the video game using the brain waves. Patients try to use a brain wave to move objects, like a space ship, on the monitor. If a brain wave has an irregular pattern, so will the space ship. Patients then try to even out the brain wave while using their mind to move the ship back in place. Scientists don’t know why it works; of the 30 patients treated in this study, 70 percent have reduced or eliminated their medications. For more, check out the original article here.
