Definitions

  • the present invention is related to the development of a head gear device used in relieving headaches by applying pressure and/or temperature to specific areas of the upper neck/head area. Specifically, the suboccipital muscles which are known for causing headaches are targeted with therapeutic processes.
  • headaches affect millions of people every year. Depending on the person, headaches can be a mild or very severe pain. Almost everybody experiences headaches at some point in their lifetime. Some individuals even experience chronic headaches which can be debilitating. There are many types of headaches, each with a different sensation and cause. Some of the more common headaches are tension headaches, cluster headaches, sinus headaches, rebound headaches and migraine headaches. Each type of headache is caused by different factors so treating them may be difficult. There are numerous treatments for headaches ranging from medications, devices, preventative care, creams. Etc. It is proven that one type of treatment doesn't work for every headache. The most common treatment is often the use of drugs or medication but it's not for everyone.
  • Cluster headaches typically affect men more than woman. They are recurring, typically around the eye and cause severe debilitating pain on a particular side of the head. Cluster headaches cause their victims to experience severe restlessness similar to a migraine. Other symptoms are that the eyes tend to water, and become photosensitive to light, causing an aversion to light. Sensitivity to noise, the nasal area tends to congest and swelling takes place around the eyes. Cluster headaches tend to recur form one attack every few days to eight per day. Cluster headaches tend to occur periodically, they can recur from one attack every couple of days, to eight attacks in a single day. The true cause is not yet known.
  • sinus headache Another type of headache is the sinus headache.
  • Common signs and symptoms include thick nasal mucous, and a clogged nose. These symptoms can be due to a viral infection, allergies, or air contamination. When the sinus becomes infected, pus can form in the sinus and lead to pain.
  • sinus headaches are accompanied with fever.
  • Sinus headaches can also cause middle ear problems. Headaches caused by sinus infections are usually treated with antibiotics. If the symptoms last less than ten days, it's typically caused by a virus but if the symptoms last more than ten days than it's considered bacterial. In this type of headache woman tend to be more affected than men.
  • MOH Medication Overuse Headache
  • Migraine headaches are considered one of the worst headaches to get. They may have a genetic disposition; two thirds of people who get them tend to have cases running in their family. They tend to affect boys more than girls but after puberty the trend reverses where woman tend to have more cases. Migraines can last from two hours to several days, many times incapacitating the person. Light and noise sensitivity often occurs, accompanied with restlessness. The underline causes for migraines is not well known but a significant percentage of people can trace their migraines to dietary triggers. [008] Tension headaches are the most common type of headache. These headaches are very common because they're caused by stressors that are commonly found in everyday life.
  • tension headaches people feel pressure around the head, temples, and/or back of the head and neck area.
  • the level of pain may be mild to severe but they usually don't cause the patient to have nausea or vomiting. Although the pain is often mild, many people experience negative effects in their work, personal life and happiness due to tension headaches. Unlike most headaches, experts believe they know the cause of tension headaches. Stress, poor posture, lack of sleep and more causes tension to build up in the muscles of the back of the neck. More specifically, a group of muscles called the suboccipital muscles becomes tense.
  • the suboccipital muscles are a group of four muscles located below the occipital bone.
  • the rectus capitis posterior major, rectus capitis posterior minor, oblique capitis superior, and the oblique capitis inferior form the suboccipital muscles.
  • This group of muscles controls fundamental head movements, i.e., lateral flexion, rotation, and extension of the head. It is recognized that the suboccipital muscles are attached to the pain sensitive dura mater of the neck through a connective tissue bridge.
  • This myodural bridge lies between the occipital bone and the 1st cervical vertebra of the spine and creates a connection between the rectus capitis posterior minor muscle and the dura mater.
  • the dura mater is known to contain a vast collection of blood vessels and is innervated with meningeal branches from the trigeminal nerve. It has been proven that headache-like pain is produced by stimulation of these meningeal branches. It is known that people are subjected to many types of micro and macro trauma, which can be repetitive or non-repetitive. Injuries, imbalances or simple daily trauma such as poor posture, harmful sleeping positions, and stress are known to cause tension in the suboccipital muscles. As these muscles tighten, the myodural bridge pulls on the dura mater and elicits pain. This anomalous traction on the dura mater stimulates dural nociceptive fibers, resulting in painful, headache-like sensations.
  • tension in the suboccipitals can cause multiple types of headaches including tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches.
  • migraine headaches generally produce a mild to severe throbbing pain that occurs unilaterally and may persist for hours or in rare cases, days.
  • stimulating the trigeminovascular system which is found in the dura mater, can cause migraine-like pain.
  • the suboccipital muscles can transmit tension onto the dura mater through the dural bridge, it may be a possibility that they play a role in migraines.
  • Cervicogenic headaches appear unilaterally, beginning in the back of the head and neck before progressing to the anterior portion of the head. These headaches are known to arise from cervical spine pain caused by dysfunction.
  • the suboccipital muscles reach as far down as the second cervical vertebra, therefore contracted suboccipital muscles may produce a form of cervical dysfunction that can reduce the range of motion and function of the upper cervical spine and in turn cause headache pain.
  • the present invention relates to apparatuses intended to be secured on the head for relief of head pain. It is known that placing ice packs and tension around the neurocranium can significantly reduce pain.
  • the uniq ueness of this invention is that it. uses self-adjusting pressure and/or temperature through the combination of gel packs, protrusions and/or air bladders to relieve tension in the suboccipital muscles of the upper neck and therefore relieving headaches. Studies have shown that when the suboccipital muscles are tense, they can cause headaches.
  • This invention is unique and specializes by providing a pneumatic pressure and/ or temperature simultaneously using an occipital strap directly on the suboccipital muscles.
  • a headache mitigating apparatus comprising a first releasable and adjustable band which seats about the head in the manner of a hatband and a second adjustable band which hangs from the first band and at least seats engagingly around the muscular area below the rear skull just below the occipital bone for relieving tension in neck muscles, the bands including flexible and tillable bladders to accommodate filling with a desired material for use in headache mitigation.
  • the headache mitigating apparatus may include but is not limited to air type bubbles in its inner surface for providing comfort to the user as pressure is applied.
  • protrusions on the hatband strap, and/or occipital strap may be used to apply direct pressure to specific areas of the head or pressure points.
  • These protrusions may be a variety of different shapes, including but not limited to, circular, oval, triangular, square, rectangular, pyramidal, or hexagonal and may be made of any material.
  • the inside of the head strap, and/or the suboccipital strap may include a padding to make the inner surface more comfortable for the user.
  • the padding may be but is not limited to a foam material such as polyurethane foam, memory foam or high density foam.
  • the hatband may incorporate, but is not limited to, various patterns to allow the hatband to apply pressure on certain parts of the head for better securing and comfort.
  • the headache band may produce circumferential pressure or pressures on specific areas of the head.
  • a sticky fabric may be used to better grip the skin and hold the headband in place.
