Dear Editor, |
I found the article "Hope or Hype" in your February issue to be a very unbalanced report on the NTI device. I am a dentist who has been using the NTI to help over 100 patients with various types of headache pain, including migraines, for the past two years. In fact, I have used it to treat my own tension headaches and migraines with incredible success.
Just as your quoted physician, I was skeptical at first. How could nightly tooth clenching have any impact on my migraines which, as I was told by the medical community, had a chemical or hormonal basis? I decided to be my own guinea pig. My daily tension headaches that were centered around my temples, NOT my TMJ, disappeared within the first week. And even more surprising, was that after wearing the NTI for 3 months, I did not get my monthly "period" migraine for the first time in over 10 years. Patients using the device are getting similar results. All report a reduction in their migraine intensity and frequency. I realize this is one doctor's anecdotal report. |
However, it was clear that your "experts" have not familiarized themselves with the scientific background or protocol, but have dismissed the device based on their own preconceived notions.

The public would be better served by their further study of the NTI with an open mind. Perhaps they would find that pericranial muscle tension caused by tooth clenching is just one more piece of the migraine puzzle. Joyce Warwick, DMD
