According to the National Headache Foundation (News Articles), oxygen treatment for headaches was first studied in 1939 when Mr. Charles Rhein of Linde Air Products reported to Dr. Francisco Alvarez at the Mayo Clinic that he had successfully treated severe headache patients with pure oxygen. In 1940 Dr. Alvarez released (News Articles) his own study of 100 patients with “migrainous” headaches who were treated with 100 percent oxygen through a nasal type mask and a flow of six to eight liters per minute, in which 80 percent of those were reported to be completely or significantly relieved.
However, in the thirties and forties, studies were much less rigorous, and there was nothing to distinguish a migraine from cluster headaches. Recent work has been done almost exclusively on the effect of oxygen inhalation on cluster headaches, most significantly with Dr. Lee Kudrow, who found that 75 percent of the cluster headache patients he studied had their pain relieved by inhalation of oxygen, with increased success the earlier in the attack it is used.
Migraine headaches often begin in childhood, adolescence or early adulthood. Migraines may progress through four stages, including prodrome, aura, headache, and postdrome, though you may not experience all the stages.
Oxygize users can add Oxygize to their ‘migraine attack packs’ or as ready to use remedy as using our portable, lightweight, natural and pure Oxygen helps to reduce nausea and feelings of anxiety experienced during an attack. Oxygize also aids relaxation while waiting for acute migraine treatments to work.
