The question of why stress-induced tension in the shoulder girdle can escalate into a condition causing severe incapacity for work, malaise, and even nausea and vomiting lasting for days can be explained by thalamic regulation and its overload. Accordingly, the primary focus of causal preventive treatment is the identification and elimination of the factors often inflammatory that lead to 'thalamic fatigue.' In clinical practice, disturbances of the gut microbiome and related pathogenic factors are at the top of this list.

The following video is recommended for professionals: in it, Prof. Dr. Rami Burstein, head of the Headache Research Center at Harvard University, discusses the pathophysiology of headaches.

New Approaches in Migraine Therapy: Comprehensive Migraine Care

"In migraine therapy, personalized medication is now complemented by a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. The outdated view that headaches are treated solely with medication is no longer valid. In recent years, researchers have discovered an increasing number of active compounds that specifically target the CGRP system, which is implicated in migraine making it possible to treat headaches in a targeted way.

Prof. Rami Burstein’s theory is also explained in plain language by Dr. Adrián Tóth, neurologist at MIND Clinic.

Dr. Adrián Tóth explains why thalamic fatigue can trigger a migraine attack and why it is important for patients to make lifestyle changes to support recovery. These include getting quality sleep and, as much as possible, reducing stress. Through the gut-brain axis, the health of the gut microbiome also influences the severity of migraine. In other words, how can dysbiosis lead to migraine through chronic inflammation?

Migraine and the Microbiome

Revolutionary changes are taking place in the treatment of headaches, particularly migraines. Today, effective care involves collaboration across multiple medical specialties to identify and prevent the triggers of migraine attacks. What role do a gastroenterologist and a neurologist play in the treatment of a patient with headaches, and how does gut-brain axis–based diagnostics improve the lives of migraine sufferers?

Katalin Rangos welcomed Dr. Adrián Tóth and Dr. Richárd Schwab as guests on Heti Vizit to discuss these questions.

Beyond Migraine

Recently, there have been tremendous advances in migraine therapy, and with personalized treatments available at MIND Clinic, outstanding results can be achieved. Migraine can be overcome. Dia suffered from headaches for 34 years but is now completely free of migraine thanks to MIND Clinic.

Dia spent 34 years trapped by unbearable migraine attacks. At the Headache Center of MIND Clinic, Dr. Szabolcs Szatmári, neurologist, finally diagnosed her condition, identified the triggers of her migraines, and implemented a personalized treatment plan. Since then, Dia has not experienced a single migraine. Not once. Listen to Dia’s story in the podcast conversation below!
