Headache clinics can evaluate and treat cluster headaches. If your headaches become more severe and medicines aren't
working, your doctor may refer you to a
headache clinic for more intensive treatment.
When
you are looking for the right clinic, ask a few
questions about the services provided—such as what
types of specialists are at the clinic—so that you can find the clinic that is
best for you.
Questions that may help you evaluate a headache clinic
include:
- How long has the clinic been
operating?
- What types of health professionals provide
care?
- What types of headache problems are treated?
- What
types of treatment are commonly used?
- What are the clinic's success
rates for treating the type of headache you have?
- What is the
clinic's philosophy of care and treatment?
