Research Interests

The field of pediatric headache is relatively new. We started the second pediatric headache clinic in the country in 1989. We spent the first ten years helping to describe headache characteristics in children and how they are different than in adults. In 1996, the field changes with the introduction of Triptan drugs. We worked on clinical trials design and implementation to prove the efficacy of this drug class in children. Concomitantly we found differences between adults and children related to Chronic Daily Headache, a condition similar to the end stages of other diseases, where co-morbidities must be addressed to help the sufferer heal. New research in this field will focus on the use of monoclonal antibodies and their use in preventing migraine.

Clinical Specialty Details

In our pediatric headache practice we focus on diagnosis and treatment modalities for a range of conditions including migraine, tension headache and chronic daily headache. We use a comprehnsive approach that includes lifestyle modification, medication and integrative medicine.
