Introduction
The goal of the DALLAS HEADACHE ASSOCIATION is to provide the diagnosis and
treatment that will help headache sufferers regain a better quality of life. The
DALLAS HEADACHE ASSOCIATION is a diagnostic and treatment facility which focuses
on providing comprehensive medical care for headache patients.
Headache is one of the most common health issues which challenge physicians and
other health care professionals. Over 45 million people in the United States
suffer from debilitating headaches. Unfortunately many headache sufferers spend
much time going from doctor to doctor in search of relief. The DALLAS
HEADACHE ASSOCIATION offers a wide range of multidisciplinary services for
patients who may not have responded to prior treatments. The diagnostic and
therapeutic protocols used at the DALLAS HEADACHE ASSOCIATION are evidenced
based with consensus – drawn guidelines. The care of each individual patient is
a team approach integrating clinical experience and current available data to
provide optimal treatment for the headache sufferer.
As a specialized headache center for headache management we offer a range of
therapies for the most complex and disabled patients. Some of these individuals
include:
Patients who have not responded to medications and have a
history of recurring
acute care needs or progressive persistent headache.
Patients who have undergone multiple
diagnostic and therapeutic interventions
and in whom the diagnosis remains uncertain or questionable.
Patients who have had frequent emergency room visits,
who have used hospital
inpatient services excessively, and who have
overused different oral analgesics, including opiates, or who have been
treated repeatedly with intramuscular or intravenous medications.
Patients in whom comprehensive
services are essential to address the multifunctional components of the
headaches.
The founder and director of the DALLAS HEADACHE ASSOCIATION is Dr Stuart B
Black, a neurologist who has had extensive clinical experience in the treatment
of headache and related neurological conditions. Working with Dr Black is a
team of experienced professionals also dedicated to implementing the most
effective treatment for each headache patient.
THE DALLAS HEADACHE ASSOCIATION is also involved in clinical research projects
focused on improving the treatment of headache patients. |
