According to Luciana Barbosa, a neurologist at the Sirio Libanes Hospital in Brazil, fixing the eyebrow with a clothespin has no scientific basis and cannot be considered an effective treatment. His comment was quoted by Metropoles.
According to the expert, such methods are not confirmed by research. However, some people may experience short-term relief. This is because pressure on the brow furrows affects the cranial nerves in this area, temporarily reducing pain.
However, this effect is purely symptomatic and short-term. It does not address the root cause of migraines or prevent future attacks.
The doctor warns that relying on such "folk" remedies can be dangerous. Patients often delay seeking medical help and do not start treatment in time, which can lead to a worsening of the condition and a more severe course of the disease.
Experts emphasize that if you experience regular migraine attacks, it's important to see a doctor and use proven treatments.
These include special drugs called triptans, such as sumatriptan, and modern monoclonal antibodies against CGRP. These are artificially created proteins that block the effect of this neuropeptide or its receptors, which plays an important role in the development of migraine attacks.
