Chronic Headache & Migraine
Find Lasting Relief from Chronic Headaches and Migraines
Living with frequent headaches or migraines can affect every part of your life, work, relationships, and even your confidence.
At BrainHub Polyclinic, we understand how overwhelming this pain can be. Our specialists use advanced neurological techniques and compassionate care to help you regain control, reduce attacks, and restore balance.
What Is a Migraine?
A migraine is not just a severe headache; it is a complex neurological condition that can cause throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound.
Some people experience warning symptoms known as an aura, such as flashing lights or tingling sensations, before the headache starts.
Migraines can last from a few hours to several days, disrupting normal routines and quality of life.
At BrainHub, our focus is on identifying the underlying causes and designing targeted, evidence-based solutions that go beyond temporary relief.
Recognizing the Signs of Migraine
Migraines can present differently in every individual, but common warning signs include:
- Intense throbbing or pulsating head pain
- Sensitivity to light, sound, or strong smells
- Nausea and vomiting
- Visual disturbances (aura or blurred vision)
- Tingling or numbness in the face or limbs
- Fatigue, irritability, or mental fog
If you often experience these symptoms, it is best to consult the best migraine doctor in Dubai at BrainHub for an accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment plan.

What Triggers a Migraine?
While migraines can be influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and brain chemistry, certain factors commonly trigger attacks, such as:
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Stress and lack of sleep
- Caffeine or certain foods
- Bright lights, strong smells, or loud noise
- Weather or atmospheric pressure changes
Our team takes a personalized approach to identify your unique triggers so that treatment becomes more effective and preventive strategies more sustainable.
Diagnosis: Where Precision Meets Empathy
Every successful migraine treatment starts with the right diagnosis. At BrainHub Polyclinic, our process combines modern technology with clinical expertise.
Your assessment may include:
- A detailed medical and neurological evaluation
- Comprehensive non-invasive electrical neuroimaging and cerebrovascular marker mapping (fTCD)
- Detailed neurobehavioral plus state-dependent assessment of autonomic nervous system
- Brain imaging (MRI, CT, or EEG if indicated)
- A review of lifestyle habits and symptom patterns
This holistic approach allows us to rule out other causes of headache and create a customized plan that addresses both immediate and long-term relief.
Advanced Migraine Treatment in Dubai
We offer a full spectrum of migraine treatments designed to reduce frequency, duration, and intensity of attacks. Each plan is tailored to your specific needs and health profile.
1. Medication Therapy
We prescribe preventive or acute medications such as triptans, CGRP inhibitors, or beta-blockers to minimize attacks and manage pain effectively.
2. Injection Therapy
For patients with chronic migraines, targeted injections like Botox or nerve blocks can help relax muscle tension and calm overactive pain pathways.
3. Neuromodulation & Brain Stimulation
We use innovative, non-invasive neuromodulation techniques that gently stimulate neural circuits to reduce migraine activity and improve brain response.
Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation (TNS), particularly Transcutaneous Supraorbital Neurostimulation (tSNS), is a non-invasive neuromodulation therapy that’s been shown to help in both acute and preventive treatment of migraine.
Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation (TNS) involves applying mild electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin to stimulate specific peripheral nerves that modulate pain pathways in the brain.
sTNS Targets the supraorbital and supratrochlear branches of the trigeminal nerve (forehead area).
BrainHub Polyclinic uses the most studied device (FDA-cleared and CE-marked).
4. Lifestyle & Nutritional Guidance
Our specialists guide you through small but impactful changes sleep hygiene, hydration, meal planning, and stress control to naturally reduce migraine triggers.
5. Behavioral & Cognitive Therapy
Since stress often amplifies migraine frequency, our psychologists provide CBT-based strategies to strengthen coping skills and emotional resilience.
Recovery & Ongoing Care
Treating migraines is not only about stopping pain, it is about restoring quality of life.
Recovery involves:
- Identifying and avoiding personal triggers
- Continuous monitoring and treatment adjustment
- Practising relaxation and mindfulness exercises
- Improving diet, posture, and sleep patterns
The multidisciplinary team walks you through every phase, helping you regain focus, productivity, and peace of mind.
