Introduction
Headache is one of the most common neurological complaints. However, when the pain becomes frequent and interferes with daily life, it’s no longer a simple sign of fatigue. Chronic headache may indicate an underlying condition — from migraine or cervical spine disorders to vascular or neurological diseases.
At KindCare Medical Center (Dubai), experienced neurologists perform detailed diagnostics to determine the exact cause of the pain and create an effective, individualized treatment plan aimed at long-term relief and prevention of recurrence.

Why Headache Becomes Chronic
If headache occurs more than 15 days per month, it is considered chronic. The causes vary and may include:
• Migraine — pulsating pain, often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light, and sound.
• Tension-type headache — typically caused by stress, fatigue, or long hours at the computer.
• Cervical osteochondrosis — compression of nerves and blood vessels in the neck leading to pain and dizziness.
• Vascular disorders or hypertension.
• Hormonal imbalance, sleep disturbances, anemia, or vitamin deficiency.

Diagnostics at KindCare Medical Center
Diagnosis begins with a full neurological examination and laboratory testing. When needed, doctors perform MRI or CT scans of the brain, and ultrasound of the neck and cerebral vessels to identify the true source of pain — vascular, muscular, or neurological.
Additional consultations with related specialists such as an ophthalmologist, cardiologist, or endocrinologist may also be recommended.

Treatment Methods
According to neurologists at KindCare Medical Center, therapy is always individualized and may include:
• Medications to relieve pain and inflammation;
• Vitamin B complex and drugs that improve cerebral circulation;
• Physiotherapy, massage, and posture correction;
• Advanced treatments such as botulinum toxin therapy, IV infusion therapy, and neuromodulation for migraine prevention.
Equally important is lifestyle adjustment — proper hydration, balanced nutrition, sufficient rest, and stress management.

When to See a Neurologist
Seek immediate medical attention if:
• The pain becomes severe or sudden;
• It is accompanied by vision or speech disturbances, weakness, or numbness;
• Painkillers no longer help.

Conclusion
Chronic headache is not a condition to ignore — it’s the body’s way of signaling an underlying problem.
