""[Squeezing the eyebrow] targets the supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve, which are both part of the trigeminal nerve system that is implicated in migraines," says Mian. "Pressure in this area can disrupt how those signals are processed, and provide some temporary relief.""
"Dr. Jon Stewart Hao Dy explains that our brains are kind of like a VIP club with a very busy bouncer. "Applying pressure to the skin can alter pain perception, which is the basis of the gate control theory of pain.""
Claw clips are being used as a viral trend for migraine relief by pinching the skin around the eyebrows. This method targets the supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves, which are part of the trigeminal nerve system involved in migraines. Pressure in this area can disrupt pain signals, offering temporary relief. This principle aligns with the gate control theory of pain, suggesting that applying pressure can alter pain perception, similar to more expensive devices designed for migraine treatment.
