The best medical innovations for next year include an almond-size device that's implanted in the mouth to relieve severe headaches and a hand-held scanner resembling a blow dryer that detects skin cancer, the Cleveland Clinic said on Wednesday. Doctors and researchers at the Clinic voted for what they thought were the biggest, most significant innovations from the 250 ideas submitted from their colleagues. One of the main criteria for getting on this annual list of the best medical innovations is the number of people that the product or procedure can potentially help. For that reason, a device that helps relieve headaches, the second-most common ailment after the cold, was second on the clinic's list.
