Understanding Headaches in the Indian Context
Heat, dehydration, skipped meals, long commutes, and screen-heavy workdays make headaches common in Hyderabad. At Ajuda Hospitals, we prioritise red-flag screening, minimal but precise testing, and personalised acute and preventive plans—so you get relief quickly and safely.
When to Consult Our Headache Specialists
⚠️ Seek urgent care for:
- ✓ “Worst headache ever,” new weakness/speech trouble, or seizures
- ✓ Fever with neck stiffness or persistent vomiting
- ✓ Headache with very high BP, chest pain, or visual loss
Book a routine visit for frequent migraines/tension-type headaches, post-viral headaches, or when painkillers no longer work.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Red-Flag Screen (SNOOP10)
Sorts primary vs secondary causes; guides imaging decisions.
Focused Exam & BP/Visual Checks
Neuro exam, fundoscopy, and BP; look for sinus/neck/eye strain.
Selective Tests & Imaging
CBC, ESR/CRP, TSH as needed; CT/MRI for red flags or refractory cases.
Trigger Mapping & Diary
Diet/sleep/stress inventory; digital diary to tailor therapy.
Treatment Pathways
From trigger control and acute migraine protocols to preventive therapy, medication-overuse rescue, and secondary-cause management, your plan is bespoke. Tele follow-ups keep you on track.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
Week 0: baseline + diary setup → Week 2–4: acute plan optimisation → Week 6–8: preventive response check → Months 3–6: stabilise and step-down → Annual: relapse-prevention review.
Technology & Innovation
Digital diaries and EMR dashboards track frequency, triggers, and medication use so clinicians can adjust doses promptly and avoid overuse.
Preventing Complications
Early, guided therapy reduces ER visits, work loss, and medication overuse. BP checks catch hypertensive crises; vision/sinus reviews fix secondary causes.
