CARE Hospitals launches specialised headache clinic in Vizag
Visakhapatnam: In a major step towards addressing lifestyle-related neurological complaints, Visakhapatnam-based CARE Hospitals has announced the launch of a specialised 'Headache Clinic aimed at enabling the early diagnosis and evidence-based treatment of patients suffering from recurrent and chronic headaches.
On the occasion of this launch, an awareness program was organised by the Departments of Neurosciences (Neurology and Neurosurgery) and Interventional Radiology. By bringing experts together, the event highlighted the evolving methods of headache treatment and the importance of early medical evaluation. Dr G. Kishore Babu, Dr M.G.V. Aditya, Dr Avinash Jada, Dr N.V.S. Mohan, Dr Sandeep Talari, Dr Vijay Kumar Terapalli, and Dr Rajesh Pusarla from the Departments of Neurosciences and Interventional Radiology participated in this launch event.
As per TheNewsWatch media news report, the recently launched Headache Clinic has adopted a multidisciplinary and protocol-based approach, integrating the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, and interventional radiology. This clinic offers a systematic process for headache evaluation, encompassing detailed mapping of headache patterns, identification of their underlying causes (triggers), and personalised treatment protocols, to ensure the long-term management of headaches rather than merely providing symptomatic relief.
It also offers advanced diagnostics and modern treatments, including minimally invasive and image-guided procedures for certain specific conditions, thereby reducing long-term dependence on medication in appropriate cases.
At CARE Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, doctors have observed a steady increase in the number of patients, particularly within the 25 to 45 age group, suffering from persistent headaches linked to stress, prolonged screen exposure, and irregular lifestyles. Many individuals rely on painkillers for months or even years, often seeking medical assistance only when their symptoms begin to interfere with their daily functioning and work productivity.
With this launch, CARE Hospitals continues to focus on its advanced clinical capabilities and on raising awareness among patients. It encourages people to move beyond seeking mere temporary relief and to opt for timely, evidence-based treatments for better long-term outcomes. CARE Hospitals is one of India's leading healthcare providers, offering advanced and multi-speciality care across its entire network.
