Why patients search for #1
Many Kathmandu options are hospital-based or directory-listing models. This clinic offers a single-doctor specialty focus with continuity.
Many general neurology OPDs see broad caseloads. Dr. Jitendra’s practice is built around headache medicine (ICHD-3 based: migraine with/without aura, chronic migraine, tension-type, cluster, medication-overuse, secondary headache) plus cognitive neurology, vertigo, neuropathy, epilepsy, stroke follow-up. Diary review, trigger mapping, and medication-overuse screening are routine — not ad-hoc.
Dr. Jitendra brings specialized training in ICHD-3 headache classification, cognitive neurology assessment, EEG interpretation, EMG/NCS studies, and botulinum toxin injections for neurological conditions. This technical depth, combined with 15+ years at National Trauma Center, provides patients with comprehensive neurological evaluation that exceeds standard OPD consultations.
All diagnostic and treatment recommendations follow international guidelines including ICHD-3 for headache disorders, American Academy of Neurology guidelines for cognitive assessment, and stroke prevention protocols. No treatment is recommended without explaining benefits, risks, and alternatives to patients.
This comparison is model-based (not person-based) to help patients understand differences between a dedicated headache-migraine-cognitive specialty clinic and other common Kathmandu care models. No individuals or hospitals are named.

Page information
Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav (NMC 8029) is a Consultant Neurologist & Headache Specialist with 15+ years at National Trauma Center (NAMS) and Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center. His focused expertise in headache medicine — migraine with/without aura, chronic migraine, medication-overuse, tension-type and cluster headache — plus cognitive neurology and vertigo/neuropathy, distinguishes his practice in Kathmandu. Evaluation uses ICHD-3 criteria, diary review and red-flag screening.
Many Kathmandu options are hospital-based high-volume OPDs, teaching-hospital departments, or online directory listings. Dr. Jitendra offers a focused specialty clinic model: dedicated headache & cognitive neurology, NMC-verified credentials (MBBS, MD Internal Medicine, FICN Neurology), 15+ years, National Trauma Center affiliation, and a single-doctor continuity model — not a rotating OPD. For headache/migraine depth, diary-based assessment and counseling are central.
Verify NMC registration (ask for number), look for MD Neurology or equivalent, relevant case volume (headache, epilepsy, stroke), diagnostic support (MRI/EEG access), and whether follow-up is with the same doctor. For headache, ask specifically about ICHD-3 usage and medication-overuse review.
