[0:00]Uh I used a nociceptive blink reflex, which is a trigemino facial brain stem reflex, which measures the activity, or trigeminal processing, trigeminal nociception in the trigeminal cervical complex.
[0:13]And what we know, what the the the reflex has shown us is that people with migraine are sensitized inter-ritically, in other words, outside of a migraine attack.
[0:24]So I I did the reproduction resolution with these migraine patients, and we found that this reproduction resolution ameliorated the nociceptive blink reflex.
[0:35]We had a desensitizing effect, and this is the first time to my knowledge that a cervical intervention has been shown to affect the very core of the migraine process.
[0:46]And indeed, we can extrapolate what we know about migraine to the other primary headache types, tension headache, cluster headache, because migraine is a phenotype of primary headache.
[0:57]So here we have, we are now doing a cervical intervention, and we are demonstrating desensitization of the trigeminal cervical complex.
[1:05]And it is widely accepted that sensitization of the brain stem, the trigeminal cervical complex, is the underlying disorder.
[1:14]It is crucial in migraine and also cluster headache, menstrual migraine, and tension headache, so so the other primary headache types.
[1:21]So that was my PhD.
