Rush’s headache specialists offer compassionate, comprehensive care to treat the full range of headache disorders, including patients with diagnostic uncertainty, treatment resistance, or significant comorbidities, like cardiovascular disease or psychiatric disorders. They routinely manage those with coexisting, complicating conditions such as undiagnosed sleep disorders or neuralgia, as well as those on complex medication regimens.
Our experts provide highly targeted treatment through subspecialty expertise — spanning stroke, sleep medicine and neuro-ophthalmology, among others. They collaborate closely on patient care, supported by a team that includes headache-focused nursing, advanced practice providers and care coordination staff. This approach enables efficient evaluation and management of even the most challenging cases.
The Rush Headache Clinic provides access to both established and emerging therapies across the full spectrum of headache care. Patients benefit from a comprehensive, multimodal treatment approach that includes abortive and preventive medications, procedural interventions, neuromodulation and newer targeted therapies. Our program also incorporates strategies such as behavioral therapies and lifestyle interventions to address the psychological and environmental factors and triggers of migraine, cluster headaches and other headache disorders.
