Headache Fellowship

Headache Fellowship

The USC Headache and Neuralgia Center is a tertiary care referral center serving a large geographical area in California, with a busy clinical practice, a multidisciplinary and translational approach to headache management.

Our multidisciplinary program incorporates multiple subspecialties that are required for the comprehensive management of complex headache disorders, including anesthesiology/pain medicine, orofacial dentistry, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, pain psychology and complementary medicine. We provide a full range of headache and neuralgia treatment options, including nerve blocks, injections, infusions, radio frequency ablation and, in some cases, surgery.

In addition, Lifestyle Redesign (LRD) program is used for chronic headaches which is an evidence-based approach that draws from a variety of preventive treatment strategies developed collaboratively with neurology and occupational therapy. In addition, our neurologists work closely with Physical Therapists who specialize in headache management to optimize headache management. We also offer an infusion center to treat headache patients with various intravenous infusions or injections along with urgent abortive medications.
