Oregon Headache Clinic

General Practitioners

Headaches
Director of the São Paulo Headache Center, and Professor of Neurology at ABC Medical School. He also serves on the Board of Trustees of the International Headache Society.
Medical Weight Loss
Primary Care
How much do you know about supplement safety? If you don’t know a lot, you are not alone. A 2002 study of primary care physicians found that 42% were not aware of any drug-herb interactions that had appeared in the medical literature, nor had they treated a patient that had one. A more recent study (2007) of internal medicine residents revealed that one-third did not know that supplements do not need to be approved by the FDA, or that safety and efficacy data are not required before supplements are put on the market.
Sleep Disorders
Emergency Care
However, there is no medical rationale for not taking migraine medication. It will not mask any damage being done to the brain unless your headache is due to something other than a migraine, and something serious at that, in which case you need to be in the emergency department anyway. So, unless you have the red flags that indicate a serious underlying problem, go ahead and take your migraine medication. You do not get points for suffering!
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is also comorbid with migraine, and affects about 15% of the general population. The symptoms of IBS can be very similar to the GI tract symptoms of gluten sensitivity and intolerance—the two disorders can be confused. And for those sensitive to fructans, avoiding them with the FODMAP diet may alleviate symptoms. A gastroenterologist can help.

Ophthalmologists

Cataracts
Dr. Anderle is passionate about exceeding patient expectations. He has broad experience in working with children, people with disabilities, low vision patients, headache and migraine sufferers, and those with cataracts.

Endometriosis
An Italian study found that 1/3 of women who had endometriosis also suffered from migraine headaches. About 5% of women of reproductive age have endometriosis. Another study found that of women with pelvic pain, 2/3 experience migraine – about three times the rate of the general population. Not all the women with pelvic pain had biopsy-proven endometriosis.
Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy

Internal Medicine

Neurology
6. Olesen J, Larsen B, Lauritzen M. Focal hyperemia followed by spreading oligemia and impaired activation of rCBF in classic migraine. Annals of Neurology. 1981; 9,344-352.
Epilepsy
If daily medication is considered necessary to prevent migraine during pregnancy, the lowest effective dose of propranolol is the drug of choice.9 Amitriptyline is a safe alternative.9 There are no reports of adverse outcomes from pizotifen (not available in the U.S.) used during pregnancy or lactation, although it is less often used than the drugs above. In contrast, sodium valproate, increasingly used for migraine prophylaxis, should not be taken during pregnancy in the absence of epilepsy as there is a high risk of fetal abnormalities.13 Indeed, women prescribed sodium valproate for migraine must use effective contraception. In general, other anti-epileptic agents prescribed for migraine prophylaxis cannot justifiably be recommended during pregnancy on the basis of currently available evidence.

Stress Management
While stress can increase the frequency of this headache type, just like it can increase the frequency of migraines, it is not felt to the cause of this type of headache. Stress management can help with management of tension-type headaches; it also helps with the management of migraine.
Depression
Mental Health
Fact: Some women with migraines also suffer form emotional problems, and addressing inner conflicts in therapy can reduce migraine frequency and severity. (However, it will not “cure” the underlying migraine tendency in the brain.) Some experts believe that the neurochemical changes that cause migraine can also cause mental disorders, such as depression. If a woman who experiences migraines also has an emotional problem, she may need to consult with a mental-health professional. But most women who suffer form migraines don’t need to see a psychiatrist or psychologist; they just need help in averting migraine attacks and managing their pain.
Psychiatry
Anxiety

Endocrinologist

Thyroid
While the list of endocrine and metabolic disorders is quite long, there are a few that can affect the risk of headache or migraine, such as thyroid disorders or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

MRI
We have since made an association between cortical spreading depression and migraine aura. And, in fact, we have been able to demonstrate very slow changes moving across the brain during migraine aura on both blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) MRI studies and magnetoencephalography. These changes move at a rate consistent with the speed of cortical spreading depression. Although most of these studies have been done in migraine with aura, there is one PET study done in a single patient who has migraine without aura showing slowing of blood flow in a similar pattern, suggesting that cortical spreading depression may occur in migraine without aura as well. Obviously, it is much harder to study in migraine without aura, as it is more difficult to determine when the beginning of the attack is in order to test it.

Neurosurgery
Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy has no place solely in the management of migraine. Studies show that migraine is more likely to deteriorate after surgery.20 However, if other medical problems require a hysterectomy, which can induce the menopause, the effects on migraine are probably lessened by subsequent oestrogen replacement therapy. Gonadotrophin-releasing hormones create a medical ‘menopause’ and have been used to assess the likely outcome of a hysterectomy, although symptoms of oestrogen deficiency such as hot flushes, limit their use.21,22 The hormones are also associated with bone thinning (osteoporosis) and should not usually be used for longer than six months without regular monitoring and scans to test bone density. ‘Add-back’ continuous combined oestrogen and progestogen can be given to counter these difficulties. Given these limitations, in addition to their high cost, this type of treatment is generally only used in specialist departments.
