What is it?
It is a new, drug-free treatment for Migraine and Premenstrual
Syndrome (PMS) using only light, developed by British doctors.
How does it work?
During PMS, the body's internal clock becomes de-synchronised
from the external rhythm of day and night. Dr D Anderson
and his colleagues have found that the use of pulsing light
helps the clock to re-synchronise. It can also re-establish
normal brain function when used during a migraine, thereby
stopping the pain.
How will I know which
programme will be the most effective for me?
The lightmask works differently for each individual, so
we advise experimenting with the programmes to see which
is best suited for you.
Can anyone use the
lightmask?
Yes, although if you have any history of epilepsy or seizures,
you should use the lightmask only under medical supervision.
Children from the age of 10 may use the lightmask, however,
we recommend that children should be supervised by an adult
at all times.
