HEADACHES & FACIAL PAIN

Headache and facial pain are common neurological symptoms that can significantly impact a person's quality of life. There are various types of headaches, including tension-type headaches, migraines, cluster headaches, and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. Facial pain can also have various causes, including trigeminal neuralgia, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, and sinusitis. It is important to get an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause of these symptoms, as treatment options can vary depending on the specific condition.

Headache and facial pain is amongst the common reasons for referral to Doctor Ellis, who is an expert in the diagnosis and management of these conditions.

On this page, patient information is available on the various conditions that can cause headache and facial pain, as well as the investigations and treatments that are available. Treatment options are outlined may include lifestyle modifications, medications, and in some cases, surgery.

By providing information on these conditions and their management, I hope to help patients better understand their symptoms and work with their healthcare providers to develop an effective treatment plan.
