Who should come to the Headache Center?
The Headache Center may especially benefit: • Patients in whom comprehensive services are essential to address the multifunctional components of their headaches. • Patients who have not responded to medication and have a history of recurring acute care needs or progressive persistent headache. • Patients who have undergone multiple diagnosis and therapeutic interventions yet the diagnosis remains uncertain or questionable. • Patients who have had frequent emergency room visits, who have used hospital inpatient services excessively, and who have overused different oral analgesics, including opiates, or who have been treated repeatedly with intramuscular or intravenous medications.
