Headache and sleep disorders are fairly prevalent in the society. Almost everybody experiences these problems at least once in his life. Available literature suggests that at least 15% subjects at a given time suffer from migraine and similar number from insomnia. Unfortunately, these adulthood problems are increasing day by day resulting in the inclusion of child and adolescent population among the sufferers.
These disorders often run a chronic course and if not managed adequately at an early stage, impart negative impact on personal, financial and social lives of the sufferers. Despite such a large magnitude of problem, specialized help is available at a very few centres in India.
Sleep and Headache Care is a group of doctors who are interested in providing clinical services and pursuing research in these areas as a team. Our team includes doctors from all related disciplines- Neuropsychiatry, Otolaryngology, Ophthalmology, Respiratory Medicine, Neurology, Neurosurgery, General Psychiatry, General Medicine and Dentistry. Our multi-disciplinary approach allows us to understand the problem thoroughly and its appropriate management.
However, we emphasize upon the prevention of illness and besides providing medical care, we run awareness campaigns and education programs.
