Neurology Clinic IV – focused on Headaches

The outpatient clinic operates as a consultative and follow-up service focused on the diagnosis and treatment of headaches. We address the full spectrum of headaches, both primary and secondary. We are a specialised clinic primarily for patients with migraine and other complex headache disorders in whom preventive treatment has failed. In patients who meet the criteria, we indicate biological preventive migraine therapy with CGRP antibodies. In chronic headache, detoxification and/or administration of botulinum toxin is possible. The examination at the clinic includes a detailed interview (medical history), a neurological examination, and the determination of the diagnostic approach and treatment strategy. The clinic is linked to the inpatient neurology department, the radiology department providing brain imaging examinations (CT, MRI), electrophysiology and ultrasound laboratories (EMG, UZV), and the biochemistry laboratory. As needed, we cooperate with other consulting specialists – physical and rehabilitation medicine, ENT, neurosurgery, pain medicine, psychiatry, psychology, ophthalmology. Information for patients:

1. For the examination, it is necessary to bring medical documentation, especially a report from the treating neurologist – imaging examinations, a description of headache attacks, the course and development of the problems, a detailed list of medications used (what treatment the patient had for an acute attack and whether they had preventive treatment), reasons for discontinuation, headache diaries (records for at least 2 months)
2. Appointments are scheduled by phone between 13:00 and 14:30
3. For the examination, it is necessary to bring a referral from a neurologist
4. After consultation and with the recommended treatment, the patient may be referred back to the outpatient neurologist, where they will continue to be followed
