Headache: relieve a torment

Headaches are among the most common symptoms, and only rarely is a doctor consulted because of them. This is not the case with chronic headaches that occur repeatedly over a period of several months and cause sufferers significant distress and thus significantly reduce their quality of life. This may indicate the presence of an independent headache disorder. This includes migraine headaches, but also tension headaches, for example. The various types of headaches can be diagnosed based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders. Only in this way is effective treatment based on treatment guidelines possible.
As specialists in headaches, Frau Gece and Herr Fuchs at the Schmerzwerkstatt München offer an individual mosaic of individual therapy components. The goal is to achieve lasting relief from symptoms, taking into account the latest therapeutic approaches from the scientific community. These include, for example, botulinum toxin injections for selected forms of headaches or the „migraine vaccination“ using immunotherapy. Another focus of treatment is the use of complementary non-drug methods, such as TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) or progressive muscle relaxation according to Jakobson.
