Migraine Detecting Dogs?
October 24, 2019
Over 37 million people in the United States suffer from migraines. This has become a problem due to the fact that it takes up most of your day due to its long lasting effect and its unpredictability. But what if we could have some type of warning that will tell us one is coming before you can tell? You can, it’s because of dogs. You can pay to train your dogs to detect an oncoming migraine. These dogs are trained to sense changes in mood and behaviors. The dogs can also use their great sense of smell to sense the changes in your body chemistry when developing a migraine. There are many ways that dogs warn you, some examples are sitting and intensely staring at you, nudge or lick you, bark, or walk around in circles. The only downside is that you can’t have another dog in the house. Would you invest in a migraine detecting dog?

A large amount of people already get a warning called an aura, which causes a temporary visual disturbance. For example, half of your vision becomes brightly colored static for twenty or so minutes, and soon after, the migraine hits. Some people don’t get auras, so I assume this would be beneficial to them.
