Restoring Quality of Life After Chronic Migraines
Mr. Jack Ferguson had been suffering from frequent, debilitating headaches for more than two years. He reported experiencing migraines 3–4 times per week, often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and dizziness. His quality of life and work performance had significantly declined. He had previously consulted several general physicians, tried over-the-counter medications, and underwent multiple lab tests without receiving a conclusive diagnosis or relief.
Consultation & Diagnosis
He visited our Neurology Department for a comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Arnold Maxwell (Senior Consultant – Neurology).
Diagnostic Process:
- Detailed neurological examination
- Brain MRI
- Hormonal & metabolic blood panel
- Trigger diary analysis
- Medication overuse assessment
Prescription Issuance
If needed, the doctor will issue an e-prescription or printed prescription with proper dosage instructions.
Treatment Plan
A personalized treatment protocol was designed, including:
- Gradual withdrawal of overused medications
- Preventive migraine therapy (low-dose beta blockers)
- Lifestyle modifications (diet, hydration, screen-time management)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT sessions)
- Regular follow-up every 2 weeks
