| 20110130786 | Method for Treating Headaches with Intra-Aural Devices - Methods for treating a headache of an individual with a pair of prosthetic intra-aural devices are provided. The methods includes inserting one of the intra-aural devices into each ear canal of the person. Later, the person may remove the intra-aural device from each ear canal. Each of the intra aural devices has a predefined shape substantially conforming to each ear canal, and is hollow in its interior to permit hearing, yet rigid enough to maintain its shape once inserted into the ear canal. The intra-aural device may be inserted at the onset of or prior to the symptoms of a headache, and may remain inserted until the headache lessens in severity, subsides or at any other time period. For migraine or other chronic headaches, the intra-aural devices may be worn to reduce at least one of the frequency, severity, and/or duration of the migraine headaches. | 06-02-2011 |
