Understanding Headache and Facial Pain
Headache and facial pain may arise from a variety of conditions, including migraines, tension-type headaches, cluster headaches, trigeminal neuralgia, and nerve-related facial pain. These conditions can significantly impact daily functioning, sleep, and overall quality of life.
Consultant-Led Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Our consultant-led assessments involve a detailed medical history, neurological examination, and review of previous investigations where appropriate. This allows us to differentiate between primary headache disorders and pain caused by underlying nerve or structural conditions.
Targeted Treatment Options
Treatment is tailored to the specific type and cause of pain. Options may include medication optimisation, nerve blocks such as occipital nerve blocks, facial nerve injections, and other targeted interventional treatments. Each approach is selected based on evidence, safety, and individual patient needs.
Precision and Safety
All interventional procedures are performed using imaging guidance where required to ensure accuracy and minimise risk. Our focus is on delivering precise treatment while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and comfort.
Improving Quality of Life
Our aim is not only to reduce pain intensity but also to improve function, reduce frequency of attacks, and help patients regain control over their daily lives. Through specialist care and personalised treatment plans, we support patients in achieving meaningful and lasting relief from headache and facial pain.
