"   Okay, we&amp;#039;ll be honest: When we read new research that found that migraines can be cured by 20 minutes of nerve stimulation each day, the first thing that popped into our heads was, &amp;quot;Does this mean that orgasms can cure headaches?&amp;quot; You can&amp;#039;t really blame us since previous studies have shown the many health benefits of having orgasms, including a longer life span and heart attack prevention. But, it turns out that this new study, which was performed by the University of Belgium, doesn&amp;#039;t quite have anything to do with the kind of nerve stimulation we were thinking about.  So, while having an orgasm probably won&amp;#039;t cure a migraine, receiving nerve stimulation via a device that straps to your head might. According to researchers, migraine sufferers who received daily nerve stimulation treatment on their noggins for roughly 90 days experienced more headache-free days each month. But, again, our minds turned to sex: Could we cure a bad headache simply by putting a vibrator to our foreheads? (Our reasoning: Vibrators stimulate nerves and when your head is pounding, you&amp;#039;ll try anything, right?) Sadly, the answer is no, according to Cosmo Radio women&amp;#039;s health expert Jennifer Wider, MD. &amp;quot;This study involved a specialized, carefully positioned nerve stimulation device called a supraorbital transcutaneous stimulator, which delivers an effective electrical pulse,&amp;quot; she told us. &amp;quot;A vibrator would probably not create a strong enough pulse to do anything significant for migraine relief.&amp;quot; Well...at least we&amp;#039;re thinking creatively?
