The centre provides highly specialised diagnostic and therapeutic care for patients who have already been examined and treated for headaches and whose difficulties have not yet been alleviated by the standard treatment options. We provide comprehensive treatment for the full range of headaches, working with outpatient neurologists as well as general practitioners and specialists from other disciplines.
\nThe centre has a connection to the inpatient neurology department and additional examination methods (X-ray, CT, MRI, angiography, ultrasonography, electrophysiology laboratory). Consultation services of other medical disciplines, including neuropsychology, are also available. We are also able to offer migraine patients in our region state-of-the-art biological treatment with monoclonal antibodies that target specific receptors in the brain. The first experiences with this new treatment method are very good, the treatment is very effective. Patients who pass the strict indication criteria set by the S\u00daKL can undergo biological treatment for migraine. The prerequisite is that they have had numerous migraine attacks that have not yet responded to standard treatment (insufficient efficacy must be documented for at least 2 commonly available migraine medications taken for a sufficiently long period of time).
\nIf an adequate therapeutic response is not achieved with monoclonal antibody treatment ( a decrease of at least 50% in migraine days per month compared to baseline ), the treatment must be ceased. This is due, among other reasons, to the high financial cost of biological treatment. Patients from the Jihlava region can make an appointment on the recommendation of a general practitioner or a specialist neurologist, patients from other districts only after a referral from the treating neurologist.<\/p>\n
To the initial examination, it is necessary to bring medical documentation of previous examinations and treatment, especially a detailed record of the prophylactic treatment used so far, with the exact time period recorded (but at least 3 months of therapy), the maximum dose of the drug achieved and the reason for discontinuing the treatment, if any. The examination also requires a daily headache record, where the patient carefully records the days with headache, the type and number of painkillers taken and, for women, the days with menstruation throughout the calendar month.<\/p>\n
