ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: Nonpharmacological treatments, such as the Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System (NTI-tss), are approved for migraine prophylaxis. We aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the NTI-tss and to compare its efficacy with amitriptyline and with a sham intraoral device in the preventive treatment of migraine. Methods: Consecutive patients with migraine were randomized to receive 25 mg of amitriptyline/day (n = 34), NTI-tss (n = 33) and a non-occlusal splint (n = 30). The headache frequency was evaluated at six and 12 weeks. Results: The amitriptyline group showed, respectively, 60% and 64% reduction in attack frequency at six and 12 weeks (P = 0.000). In the NTI-tss and non-occlusal splint groups, reduction was 39% and 30%, respectively, at six weeks and 48% for both groups at 12 weeks. Conclusions: Amitriptyline proved superior to the NTI-tss and the non-occlusal splint. Despite its approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration, the NTI-tss was not superior to a sham device.


RESUMO Objetivo: Tratamentos não farmacológicos como o Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System (NTI-tss), são aprovados para a prevenção da migrânea. Avaliamos a eficácia do NTI-tss no tratamento preventivo da migrânea e comparamos sua eficácia com a de um medicamento tradicional (amitriptilina) e com um dispositivo intraoral que não interfere com a oclusão (placa palatina). Métodos: Pacientes consecutivos com migrânea foram randomizados e receberam 25mg de amitriptilina/dia (n = 34), NTI-tss (n = 33) ou placa palatina não oclusal (n = 30). A frequência da cefaleia foi comparada após seis e 12 semanas. Resultados: No grupo da amitriptilina houve redução de 60% em seis semanas e de 64% em 12 semanas (P = 0.000). Nos grupos do NTI-tss e da placa não oclusal a redução foi respectivamente de 39% e 30% após seis semanas, e de 48% para ambos em 12 semanas. Conclusões: Amitriptilina foi superior ao NTI-tss e à placa palatina no tratamento da migrânea sem aura. O NTI-tss obteve resultados similares aos da placa não oclusal.
