Patty, A sufferer of migraines for about 12 years. Have had the i.v. treatment the "dope",scans for brain cells,acupuncture,chiropractor, nero drs.,g.p.drs,dentist for tmj,internist,infact everyone but the local witch dr. So... Now I take Imatrix,Zomig, with hot hot hot wash cloth(s)on the forehead. Plus sometimes a unit called "T.E.N.S." which runs into the $600.range. Its battery powered. It uses patches with the electrodes,much like a small shock of jucice. Do not hook to a normal 12 volt battery. Its uses only a low 9volt battery( $6.00) each. None of the homeie stuff worked.(posted 9562 days ago)Good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peggy
