Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Headache Medicine neurologist do?
A Headache Medicine neurologist is a Neurology physician with focused training in the diagnosis and treatment of headache and migraine disorders, including treatment-resistant cases. After completing Neurology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general neurologist typically handles day to day.
What conditions does a Headache Medicine neurologist treat?
A Headache Medicine neurologist commonly treats chronic migraine, cluster headache, tension-type headache, medication-overuse headache, post-traumatic headache, and trigeminal neuralgia. Many also see closely related conditions within Neurology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general neurologist.
When should I see a Headache Medicine neurologist?
Consider seeing a Headache Medicine neurologist when your headaches are frequent, disabling, or have not improved with standard medications, when a primary care clinician or general neurologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Headache Medicine neurologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.
How is a Headache Medicine neurologist different from a general neurologist?
Both are board-eligible neurologists, but a Headache Medicine neurologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of headache and migraine disorders, including treatment-resistant cases. General neurologists treat a broad range of Neurology concerns; Headache Medicine neurologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with chronic migraine, cluster headache, tension-type headache, medication-overuse headache, post-traumatic headache, and trigeminal neuralgia.
How does Convene match me with a top Headache Medicine neurologist?
