Headaches and migraines are common health problems that affect many of us. Globally, 11% of adults suffer from migraine, 42% experience tension-type headaches and 3% have chronic daily headaches.^1,2 coMra is an effective modality for relieving the pain of headaches and migraines.³ To better understand how it works, it’s helpful to look at some of the science behind headaches.

HEADACHES, MIGRAINES AND ENERGY DEFICIT

While secondary headaches can be caused by trauma or infection, less is known about what causes primary headaches. Dr Arzhan Surazakov PHD, Head of Research and Development at Radiant Life Technologies, believes that headaches are caused by an energy deficit in the cells of the brain.¹ This means low levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an organic compound that provides the energy behind many important processes in the cells.⁴

“Low energy stores in cells can be directly expressed as physical fatigue,” explains Dr Surazakov. “Indeed, fatigue is a very common complaint among people with migraine. Prolonged fatigue also often follows a migraine attack in people with episodic migraine.¹

According to research, “In the brain of people with migraine and cluster headaches the cellular energy stores are significantly lower than in healthy controls. Most notably, the more energy that is stored in cells between attacks, the less is the severity of symptoms during attacks. An acute migraine attack can be seen as the lowering of energy stores in the brain beyond a critical threshold. Indeed, during a phenomenon known as cortical spreading depression neurons experience a sudden and severe hypoxia, and a complete loss of function. Spreading depression is involved in the mechanism of migraine, stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage and traumatic brain injury, and it represents a slowly propagating wave of “silence” of electrical activity and swelling of neurons.¹

The amount of energy stores maintained in cells determines the susceptibility of a person to a migraine attack. A healthy person with significant amounts of energy stores can sustain a great load of energy demand without experiencing pain. In a person with already low energy stores any common disturbance can force neurons over a critical energetic threshold, leading to an experience of pain and loss of functionality.”¹

HOW coMra WORKS TO TREAT HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES

coMra uses low-level laser and magnetism to stimulate the synthesis of ATP, which translates to more energy, meaning the cells are able to function more effectively. coMra also uses colour LEDs which deliver information to the cells to help harmonise the cells’ activity and rest cycles, and ultrasound which helps to stimulate an unhealthy cell into a healthy rhythm of activity.⁴

Using these principles, coMra’s UNIVERSAL 1 (HEAD) treats headaches, migraines and intracranial pressure.³

coMra users report excellent results when it comes to relieving migraines and headaches.

“I have been on chronic pain medicine, for migraines, for over 12 years. I have been subjected to multiple medical protocols – you name it, I have done it – to no avail. I am pleased to inform you that I have not touched ANY medicine, of ANY kind for the last month. I have invested in the full package available from CoMra – the best investment ever.” – Wessel, South Africa⁵

NOTE: coMra is a powerful modality. The uses described above are those recommended by the coMra User Guide. Experience over 10 years has shown that in the case of most chronic conditions, treatments can also be spread out to once or twice per week, without taking the breaks outlined in the guide.
