MyGreen Lamp
The Science of Phototherapy
As stated in "How doctors treat headache pain with green light", while the exact mechanisms of phototherapy remain unknown, "what's clear is when all visible wavelengths of light except green are excluded from the eyes, the severity and frequency of pain decreases significantly." Originally, the traditional practice of forest bathing was associated with pain relief and other health benefits such as reduced inflammation, faster wound healing, better stress management, improved immune system function, and overall improvements in health (Fu et al. 2022). However, while green light immersion used to only be accessible in dense forests, MyGreen Lamp technology is more individually adjustable without the need for a darkroom.
Current Standard of Migraine Management
As read in "Green Light Relieves Headache Pain", migraines are usually characterized by excruciating pain, visual aura, nausea & extreme sensory sensitivity. This can disable those suffering from migraine attacks until it passes, not to mention carrying the psychological burden of the unpredictable & crippling nature of these attacks. Apart from how debilitating these attacks can be, the current treatment protocol is often isolating & incomplete, as sufferers are usually forced to use medication as a last resort. Unfortunately, many people also take on the negative side effects of these medicines as well in a desperate attempt to relieve their pain.
However, ice baths may serve as a method of migraine prevention. While it is not recommended to perform cold plunge therapy while in the midst of a migraine attack, regular ice bath practice has been shown to provide several benefits such as grounding, neurotransmitter production & increased cognitive abilities of the brain. These benefits can aid in migraine prevention & potentially decrease susceptibility to migraine attacks.
Apart from this alternative, migraineurs feel limited in their treatment options & having quick, accessible tools in their day to day lives.
Invented by Thomas P. Seager PhD., this fast-acting headache technology aims to relieve migraines & improve quality of life for those suffering with ongoing migraine symptoms. Offering an alternative to migraine care not including pharmaceutical drugs, MyGreen Lamp products are designed to support mood, soothe tension and aid relaxation with easy, quick accessibility to migraine care.
MyGreen Lamp Solution
MyGreen Lamp technology overcomes barriers in the typical Burstein treatment, such as inconvenient confinement during miagraine attacks, limited green-light sources & treatment that requires direct eye contact. With products like the MyGreen Lantern, it emits two green wavelengths, 525nm and 545nm, with independent intensity adjustments. Along with this, MyGreen Lantern works through direction action, even with closed eyes, or can create ambient lighting versus being forced to submerge in darkness as a treatment route. This allows users to create unique settings that are most optimal for them in their treatment. Other products, such as the MyGreen Goggles, provide these benefits as well as even more comfort & convenience for green-light therapy.
