Expert Headache & Migraine Treatment in London
Comprehensive care for migraines and chronic headaches is available at our London clinic. We offer science-led treatment plans tailored to your symptoms, diagnosis, and long-term needs.
What Is Headache & Migraine Treatment?
Headache and migraine treatment focuses on more than just temporary relief—it aims to identify and address the root cause of your pain. At our clinic, we take a specialist approach to diagnosing and managing various headache conditions.
Our team treats both primary headaches (like migraines and tension headaches) and secondary headaches caused by other health issues. Conditions we commonly see include chronic daily headaches, cluster headaches, and trigeminal neuralgia.
Using advanced diagnostic tools such as MRI and CT scans, we pinpoint the exact source of your symptoms. Based on your results, we create a personalised treatment plan that may include options like nerve blocks, CGRP inhibitors, physiotherapy, or preventive care.
What Conditions Do We Treat?
At our specialist headache centre, we help patients across all types of headache and facial pain, including:
- Chronic Headache: Defined as headaches on 15 days or more per month, often disabling and linked to overuse of painkillers or medication.
- Cluster Headaches: Severe, one-sided headaches often affecting the eye area, treated with acute and preventive therapies.
Tension Headaches: Common and often stress-related, usually managed with physiotherapy and lifestyle-based interventions. - Migraine Attacks: With or without aura, menstrual migraines, or episodic migraines—each requiring specialist migraine care.
- Trigeminal Neuralgia: Sharp, facial nerve pain often misdiagnosed. We offer neurology-based diagnosis and treatment.
- Post-Traumatic Headache: Occurs after head injury, assessed by our neurosurgeon and neurology department.
- Medication Overuse Headaches: Detox protocols and alternative remedies to avoid dependency.
Each patient receives a consultation with our healthcare professionals to identify triggers and create a treatment plan that is safe and effective.
How Our Headache Treatment Works
Our clinic operates within a network of hospitals to ensure access to the most advanced care available to treat complex neurological disorders. We begin with a full diagnostic consultation:
Medical History & Diary Review
We ask you to keep a diary of your symptoms, triggers, and painkiller use, which helps us pinpoint patterns.
Imaging & Diagnostic Tests
Depending on your case, we may recommend an MRI, CT scan, or blood tests to rule out serious underlying causes like intracranial pressure.
Tailored Treatment Plan
Options include infusion therapy, monoclonal antibodies like CGRP blockers, Botox, and deep brain stimulation for severe chronic cases.
Aftercare
Post-treatment, we offer follow-ups, support services, and lifestyle guidance to ensure you stay on track.
Unlike GPs, our specialist migraine team is trained specifically in neurology and headache management, ensuring high accuracy in diagnosis and treatment.
Treatment Overview
At the Institute of Medical Physics, our goal is to make your journey to headache relief as smooth and effective as possible. Here’s what you can expect at each stage of your treatment:
Initial Consultation
Your first visit includes a detailed review of your medical history, symptoms, and headache patterns. We’ll discuss your lifestyle, any known triggers, and previous treatments. You may be asked to keep a headache diary to help identify patterns.
Diagnostic Testing
If needed, we’ll recommend diagnostic tests such as MRI or CT scans to rule out serious underlying conditions and better understand the source of your headache or migraine. Blood tests and neurological evaluations may also be performed.
Personalised Treatment Plan
Based on your diagnosis, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan that suits your condition and lifestyle. This may include:
- Preventive medication
- Acute relief therapies
- Nerve blocks
- CGRP monoclonal antibodies
- Botox injections
- Infusion therapy
- Physiotherapy or lifestyle modification support
Treatment Sessions
Depending on your treatment plan, sessions may take place weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Most are outpatient procedures with little to no downtime. Your response is closely monitored to ensure the treatment is effective.
Ongoing Support & Aftercare
After treatment begins, we provide follow-up appointments, adjustments to your plan if needed, and continued access to our support services. Our team ensures long-term progress and helps reduce the risk of recurrence.
