The Headache Program at Al Mousa Specialist Hospital provides accurate diagnosis and integrated care for acute and chronic headache cases.
We are keen to provide health care that meets the patient’s aspirations and guarantees him the attention he deserves.
Diagnosis depends on reviewing the patient's health history, careful clinical examination, in addition to a group of medical tests to rule out other possible causes of headache, such as:
- Laboratory tests.
- Radiography.
- Neurophysiological examinations.
- The neurologist also comprehensively evaluates the patient's condition and ensures that there are no structural diseases such as tumors, vascular diseases, or others as a main cause of the headache.
The treatment plan is built according to the type of headache and the individual diagnosis of each patient, and may include:
- Drug treatment.
- Referring the case to a neurosurgeon when there is an organic cause such as benign or malignant tumors.
- The use of Botox injections, which has proven effective in chronic migraines (15 or more headache days per month), is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this use, and many patients have reported significant improvement after treatment with Botox, especially in recurrent headaches.
