摘要
A system and method for treating acute migraine events utilizing multiple sensory/receptive channels (olfactory, audio, visual and other sensory receptors) to both treat and optimize delivery to the afflicted sites in the brain. One of the primary migraine treatment methods includes a composition delivered through the olfactory system. Absorption through the nasal membranes is rapid and avoids delays and dilution inherent in methods using the mouth and gastro-intestinal (GI) processing. Effective, but less preferred methods that avoid GI delays and dilution include delivery as eyedrops or as an intravenous infusion. The effective composition comprises a caffeinic substance to bind and antagonize adenosine receptors in the brain. This immediately blocks continued action of adenosine to dilate the afflicted vessels and inflict pain. The composition also incorporates cannabinolic substances which work simultaneously or in parallel using the body's natural endocannabinoid pathways to rebalance and control blood flow to minimize swelling and pain. Additional features may incorporate additional active components. One available feature may incorporate a recipient/patient control modulus where the patient adjusts treatment using a feedback device such as a stimulation button to increase or adjust delivery. Another additional feature comprises one or more essential oils. Although some essential oil compositions may themselves include one or more compounds that contribute to the desired cannabinolic effects, adding essential oils even those lacking an inherent cannabinolic effect can contribute to effective treatment. Fragrant inclusions in an essential oil additive may provide a calming stimulation to the olfactory system that supports reduced tension and relaxation and thereby removes a tension induced exacerbation of migraine progression.
