Headaches can range from mild and occasional to severe and debilitating, affecting various aspects of daily life. At Jolly Neuro Clinic, Dr. Praveen Changala offers expert evaluation and treatment for all types of headaches, ensuring a comprehensive approach to managing this common yet complex condition.
Dr. Changala begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause of the headache. This assessment includes a detailed medical history, lifestyle factors, and a neurological examination. Depending on the symptoms and their frequency, he may recommend advanced diagnostic tests such as neuroimaging (MRI or CT scans) and, if necessary, additional studies to rule out other potential causes or to identify specific headache disorders like migraines, tension-type headaches, or cluster headaches.
Treatment plans are highly personalized, based on the type and severity of the headache, as well as the individual patient’s overall health. For migraine and other primary headaches, Dr. Changala may prescribe medications to manage symptoms and reduce the frequency of attacks. This could include abortive treatments for acute relief and preventive medications to decrease the number of headaches experienced. Additionally, he may recommend lifestyle adjustments, dietary changes, or stress management techniques to help minimize triggers.
