Headache Clinic

We understand your problem

40% of people experience severe headaches annually. Headache is usually a benign symptom and only occasionally a manifestation of a serious illness such as a brain tumour. At least 15% of the female population and 8% of the male population suffer from migraine-type headache. The most important issue to resolve, when managing headache, is to make the distinction between benign and more ominous cases. Headache is the most common pain syndrome which presents to General Practitioners. 

Accurate diagnosis is key

The diagnosis of headache is generally made by a qualified clinician using:

• A detailed history of the headache, its development and other associated factors 
• A thorough clinical examination 
• A diagnostic test such as a MRI scan if needed
