Oxygen can ease headaches..........
Have you ever thought about using oxygen for headaches?
Do you suffer from headaches? A cluster headache is defined as a recurrent headache that occurs in"clusters". They are often the most painful and are characterized by a stabbing feeling around or near one of the eyes. Cluster headaches can last for hours or days. Usually, the pain is so intense that one can not work, stand or function at all. The current treatment for an acute attack is an injection of sumatriptan. However, frequent dosing is not recommended because of the side effects. Cluster headaches are more common in men than women and the age group is usually 28-30 years of age. It is becoming more common to use a high-dose , and a high flow oxygen. A prescription is required for the oxygen. There is no side effect or danger in using oxygen for a cluster headache. Normally, a home medical equipment company can supply the oxygen. The treatment is usually at least 12 liters per minute and the oxygen has to be delivered via face mask. For the most part insurance does not cover this benefit. Usually, the oxygen has to be used at onset of headache and if treatment is going to work the headache usually eases up within 15 minutes of using the oxygen. Research has shown to be promising but more study is needed. For more information contact OxygenPlus Medical Equipment at 734-429-7444. Visit www.oxygenplusmichigan.com
