Determining the causes of headaches
The diagnosis of headache abroad is carried out in order to determine its exact cause. The patient who arrives for treatment is consulted by a neurologist, who, if necessary, involves related specialists in the work.
The following methods are used in the diagnosis and differentiation of headaches in foreign clinics:
- Electro- and echoencephalography
- Rheoencephalography
- MR angiography and traditional angiography of cranial and extracranial vessels
- Doppler sonography of the feeding arteries of the head and neck
- Investigation by the method of evoked potentials
- MRI of the brain
- CT and X-ray of the skull
- Laboratory tests of blood and cerebrospinal fluid (optional)
Departments and even specialized clinics focused specifically on this area are engaged in the diagnosis and therapy of headaches abroad. The patient is guaranteed an accurate and fast diagnosis, as well as effective care with a fixed long-term result.
Headache treatment abroad
Headache treatment is selected based on the data obtained during diagnosis, anthropometric indicators, gender and age, provoking and concomitant diseases, previous injuries and other indicators.
The following procedures may be included in classical therapeutic regimens:
- Medical treatment (in particular, emergency and preventive) by means of the latest generations
- Diet therapy
- Vitamin and mineral therapy
- Manual therapy and therapeutic and preventive massage
- Physical therapy
If a specific chronic disease is detected, targeted etiotropic therapy is performed to eliminate the symptoms in the future.
In modern practice, conservative methods are often combined with alternative methods. Oriental medicine procedures such as acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, gouache scraping and others are particularly popular.
