Systematic headache evaluation — migraine, tension-type, cluster, chronic daily headache, and secondary headache — with education on triggers, diary use, and red flags. Center led by Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav.
Headache topical authority
Headache diagnosis is clinical. The pattern of attacks, associated features, and examination narrow the possibilities and guide discussion.
Not every headache is migraine. Tension-type headache, cluster headache, chronic migraine, and medication-overuse headache each have distinct features and different considerations. Trigeminal neuralgia and other facial pains require careful differentiation from dental sources.
A headache calendar recording date, duration, severity, associated symptoms, medication taken, and relief helps reveal patterns and assess change over time. Bring it to visits.

Migraine is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent headache episodes, often with nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and sometimes aura.
Chronic headache refers to headache occurring on 15 or more days per month for more than three months.
Tension-type headache is a common primary headache, often described as pressure or tightness around the head.
Cluster headache causes severe unilateral pain with autonomic features, occurring in clusters of attacks.
Trigeminal neuralgia causes brief, severe facial pain in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve, often triggered by light touch.
Cervicogenic headache is referred pain from cervical spine structures, often worsened by neck posture, with overlap but distinct from migraine and tension-type headache.
Systematic evaluation of headache patterns, triggers, red flags, and associated symptoms to guide appropriate care.
Evaluation and longitudinal management for migraine with or without aura, including chronic migraine and medication-overuse concerns.
Care for frequent or daily headache presentations, with attention to underlying contributors and medication factors.
Evaluation for cervicogenic headache and neck-related tingling/dizziness — separates cervical from migraine and neural causes.
Multidisciplinary headache rehabilitation: preventive therapy, acute management, trigger and lifestyle interventions, and Botox where indicated.
Evidence-based headache education — each authored and medically reviewed by Dr. Jitendra.

History covers frequency, duration, severity, associated symptoms, triggers, and medication use, plus examination and red-flag review. Imaging is guided by findings rather than routine.
When acute headache medications are used on many days, headache frequency may increase. Evaluation reviews exact frequency and guides supervised adjustment — do not stop medications abruptly without medical advice.
Vestibular migraine can combine headache, photophobia, and vertigo. History of timing, associated features, and examination help distinguish it from inner-ear or central causes.
Thunderclap headache, headache with fever and neck stiffness, headache after injury, new headache after 50, or headache with weakness, speech change, or vision loss warrant immediate emergency assessment.
