Neurological evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation at Raj Hospital, Ranchi.
While almost everyone experiences headaches, chronic migraines and cluster headaches can be exceptionally disabling, causing intense throbbing pain, often accompanied by severe nausea and sensitivity to light. Raj Hospital offers specialized migraine and headache treatment in Ranchi. Our neurologists assess your headache pattern and triggers and plan treatment suited to your type of headache.
Recognizing symptoms early leads to better outcomes. Look out for:
Accurate diagnosis is crucial. We use standard neurological tests and imaging to help reach an accurate diagnosis.
Detailed clinical mapping to rule out serious underlying causes like tumors or aneurysms.
Recommended only if headaches are sudden, incredibly severe, or accompanied by neurological symptoms.
Triptans, anti-nausea drugs, and other painkillers designed to stop a migraine during an attack.
Beta-blockers, antidepressants, or anti-seizure drugs prescribed to reduce the frequency and severity of future attacks.
Newer preventive treatments that target the CGRP pathway involved in migraine; usually considered when other preventive medicines have not worked.

Triggers vary hugely between patients but commonly include hormonal changes in women, specific foods, alcohol, immense stress, sensory stimuli (bright lights, strong smells), and changes in sleep patterns.
Migraines cannot be permanently 'cured', but they can be remarkably well-managed. With strict identification of triggers and the right mix of preventive and abortive medications, attack frequencies can be vastly reduced.
An aura involves visual disturbances like seeing bright flashing lights, zig-zag lines, or experiencing clear tingling sensations immediately before a massive severe headache hits.
Yes. Tension headaches present as a dull squeezing band around the head, usually without any nausea or light sensitivity associated with severe migraines.
Yes. For chronic migraine (headache on 15 or more days a month), botulinum toxin injections given by a trained specialist can reduce the number of headache days in some patients; injections are usually repeated about every 12 weeks.
