Headache & Migraine Treatment

Overview

Headache disorders are among the most prevalent neurological conditions worldwide. Migraine alone affects up to 15% of the population, while cluster headache, tension-type headache and medication overuse headache cause significant disability that is often under-recognised and under-treated.

Dr. Bharath Kumar Surisetti provides expert headache classification, investigation and both acute and preventive treatment — including botulinum toxin for chronic migraine — helping patients achieve significant and lasting reduction in headache days and improved quality of life.

Migraine is moderate-to-severe, one-sided, throbbing, lasting 4–72 hours, often with nausea and light/sound sensitivity. An aura (visual disturbance) precedes migraine in ~30% of patients.

Seek emergency care for: sudden thunderclap headache, headache with fever and neck stiffness, headache with weakness or vision loss, or headache after head trauma.

Chronic migraine is defined as ≥15 headache days per month for >3 months. It requires preventive treatment — often botulinum toxin injections every 3 months.

Yes. Botulinum toxin (Botox) injected every 3 months at multiple head/neck sites is approved for chronic migraine and reduces headache days by ~50% in most patients.
