Natural Relief in Sight for Migraine Sufferers

If you suffer from migraine or other orofacial pain like TMD, it's no surprise that poor sleep routines, stress, lack of exercise and a sedentary desk job all increase your risk for these painful events.

Dr. Paul Durham, distinguished professor of biology at Missouri State University and director of the Center for Biomedical and Life Sciences, and Lauren Cornelison, senior research scientist at CBLS in the Jordan Valley Innovation Center, share about their latest research.

Imitrex is a common solution for treating symptoms of migraines. But they are testing a transdermal vagus nerve stimulator, enhanced bone broth and cannabidiol to treat the pain without drugs.

Nicki received a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Business Administration from Missouri State in marketing, in 2002 and 2004 respectively. After gaining experience in writing, marketing, special event planning, fundraising and public relations, she returned to the university to work in the office of strategic communication. There she tells the university’s story by sharing the stories of individuals at Missouri State.
