Dr Suneja, a headache expert at Cleveland Clinic, talks about when to visit the ER with migraines. Go to the ER, if: - It feels different or lasts longer than usual - Doesn't get better with your usual meds - Comes with new symptoms like weakness, numbness, tingling, or vision changes - Causes severe nausea, vomiting, or dehydration Trust your gut – if something seems wrong, don't wait!

Dr Suneja, Headache Neurologist at the Cleveland Clinic, explains new migraine prevention medications, especially the CGRP class, have fewer side effects than older options. While older drugs could cause issues like kidney stones, sedation, and mood changes, the newer ones are generally well-tolerated. Some people might experience minor constipation or injection site reactions, but overall, these medications are designed to minimize disruption to daily life. Although insurance coverage can be a hurdle, these newer CGRP drugs are becoming increasingly recognized as a first-line treatment for migraine prevention.

Dr. Suneja from the Cleveland Clinic explains how overusing common pain relievers, like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, can actually worsen headaches over time. This happens because your brain can become dependent on these medications, leading to a condition called "medication overuse headache". As a general rule, limit over-the-counter pain reliever use for headaches to no more than two days a week and 10 days a month. Even prescription medications like triptans should be used mindfully. It's important to recognize the signs of medication overuse headaches and consider a "medication detox" to give your brain a break and allow preventive treatments to work more effectively.

While most patients with typical migraines don't require an MRI, there are certain situations where it may be necessary. If your headaches change in pattern, become worse with exertion like coughing or sneezing, are positional, or if you experience vision abnormalities, it's crucial to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare provider. They may recommend an MRI to rule out any underlying causes. Although most MRIs in migraine patients are normal, occasionally small white spots or "scars" from migraines might be seen. However, these are usually benign. In some cases, the MRI can reveal other conditions like multiple sclerosis or chronic ischemic changes, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive evaluation along with the MRI findings. Learn more about this and the world of headache medicine in the latest episode of "The Neurology Nook" podcast, with this week's guest, the renowned expert Dr. Aarushi Suneja, from the Cleveland Clinic.

Alzheimer's disease early detection methods include expensive PET scans and invasive tests like lumbar punctures to analyze cerebrospinal fluid. However, the most common and cost-effective method currently used is cognitive testing, such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and the mini-mental status exam, which can be administered in a doctor's office to screen for early signs of cognitive decline.

🚨 If you notice stroke symptoms in yourself or someone else, the best thing to do is call 911 instead of driving them to the hospital. EMTs can assess the patient on-site, rule out other conditions like low blood sugar, and begin treatment right away. They also communicate with the hospital to ensure the best care is ready upon arrival. Remember, the first few hours are crucial for better outcomes in stroke care. Want to learn more?

We've slashed treatment times in HALF over the past decade – now, some hospitals can deliver life-saving meds in under 30 minutes! 🤯 Sadly, many stroke victims arrive too late for these treatments due to delays in seeking help or "wake-up strokes." 😔 #StrokeAwareness #ActFAST #TimeIsBrain #EveryMinuteCounts

Unlocking the Brain: A Look at Neuralink’s Implantable Brain-Computer Interfaces 🧠 Neuralink: Founded by Elon Musk, Neuralink is pushing the boundaries of neurotechnology. Their goal? To create implantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that enhance human capabilities. 🔍 How It Works: The Link device gets implanted into your skull through a precise robotic procedure. Hair-thin threads are inserted directly into the brain, allowing communication between neurons across synapses. Imagine a future where BCIs enable seamless interaction with computers, prosthetics, and even each other. It’s like science fiction come to life! 🌟 Impact: Neuralink’s work has the potential to revolutionize healthcare, assist those with disabilities, and unlock new forms of communication. #celestebrainhealth #neurology #neuralink #Neurotechnology #BrainComputerInterfaces
