American scientists have invented a simple and effective way of dealing with a headache.
Experts said that people with chronic migraine, can make their life easier with the help of special sunglasses or light therapy.

Experts have concluded that one of the main symptoms of the disease is increased sensitivity of the eyes of the patient. The researchers conducted an experiment in which have an effect on the volunteers with migraine with light of varying colors, defining the influence of each on the experimental condition.
During the experiment, scientists found that the worst thing in the patients with migraine is affected by blue light, from which the pain in his head only intensified. But the green light of low intensity on the contrary decreases by about 20% headache, and significantly reduces the risk of increased sensitivity.
