Headache Treatment

At Özel Algomed Hastanesi, patients presenting with headache complaints are evaluated and treated by neurology specialists. If there is suspicion of another underlying medical condition related to the pain described by the patient, additional examinations and diagnostic tests may be requested.

Headaches may occur due to multiple underlying causes. Therefore, when necessary, a multidisciplinary approach is adopted in collaboration with departments such as psychiatry, dentistry, maxillofacial surgery, ophthalmology, ear nose and throat diseases, neurosurgery, internal medicine, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and pain management.

The main goal of headache treatment is to reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of headaches while improving the patient’s quality of life. Hospitalization is rarely required, but may be planned by the specialist physician when necessary.

During the treatment process, patients may be asked to complete a headache diary recommended by their physicians. By recording daily headache episodes, specialists can closely monitor the effectiveness and progress of the treatment.
