New Migraine Treatment and Inventor Featured on Fox & Friends July 27

July 26, 2011 - PRLog -- DALLAS, TX, July 26 – Ascendant Neuro announced today that people who suffer from chronic and debilitating migraine pain can learn about a very effective migraine treatment—the StimPath procedure—when its inventor, renowned pain specialist, Ken Reed, M.D. appears on the top-rated morning show, FOX & Friends at 7:50 a.m. CST on Wednesday, July 27, 2011.
“Chronic migraine pain can take a devastating toll on a person’s life,” Dr. Reed says. “Often people can’t work, they can’t enjoy quality time with their family or friends, they become isolated and depressed. I’m glad FOX & Friends is focusing on this important health issue.”
Dr. Reed, along with his colleague Kelly Will, M.D., were recently awarded the prestigious Cephalalgia Award from the International Headache Society for their groundbreaking research regarding the innovative migraine treatment.
During the StimPath procedure, small wires are implanted under the skin so they are undetectable.  Although they can’t be seen, these wires deliver electrical impulses—or neurostimulation—to both the occipital and supraorbital nerves that cause headache pain.  
“We’ve seen remarkable results with the StimPath procedure,” Dr. Reed says. “Patients with debilitating migraines who did not respond to other treatments or therapies now enjoy long-term relief from their headache pain.  We’ve been tracking patients for nearly three years, and they report they are still pain free.”
Nearly 36 million Americans of all ages suffer from chronic migraine pain. The new StimPath procedure finally offers the hope of long-term relief.
