Pediatric Headache Fellowship

The mission of our Pediatric Headache Medicine Fellowship training program is to train pediatric neurologists to become experts in the growing field of headache medicine in children and adolescents.

This one-year clinical/research fellowship certified by the United Council of Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) provides in-depth inpatient and outpatient-based clinical training in pediatric and adult headache disorders including migraine headaches, abdominal migraines, cyclic vomiting syndrome, TACs, posttraumatic headaches, orofacial pain, and other secondary headaches. Fellows will be exposed to the unique features of treating pediatric headaches including psychosocial aspects such as school functioning and family dynamics.

Fellows will learn to take headache-specific histories and develop advanced examination techniques. Both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments will be emphasized including use of nutraceuticals, behavioral therapy, physical and vestibular therapy, biofeedback, acupuncture, and more. Fellows will also be trained in procedures including botulinum toxin injection, peripheral nerve blocks, and sphenopalatine ganglion blocks.
