Headache Center for Adolescent and Adult Care and Rehabilitation

Joints of Studioerre include the Headache Center for therapeutic-rehabilitation. Patients with different types of headaches are referred to the Center: from tension, migraine, and cluster headaches to rare and drug-resistant forms. Correct diagnostic framing is a prerequisite for initiating therapy individually modulated to the pathophysiology of the disorders. Studioerre counts among its specialists Dr. Liberini, Medical Director at the Spedali Civili of Brescia. Since the time of his specialization in Neurology and later in Psychiatry, Dr. Liberini has dealt with primary headaches, particularly migraine in all its expressions and with great attention to the emotional and relational aspects related to the pathology. While having layered research and knowledge from scientific training, the Doc guides patients on a course of treatment not exclusively focused on drug therapies. This allows them to improve their quality of life without suffering potential side effects of psychotropic drugs and to prevent the dangerous transformation of migraine into a chronic form. The key moments of this discussion are, therefore, listening, education about headache awareness, and identification of possible causes that may benefit from lifestyle changes.
Conversely, the patient who has already entered the tunnel of chronicity and drug abuse is gradually led to de-addiction and reoriented to a condition of positivity in the social, family and work context. Special attention is paid to adolescents and the complex conflicts and motivational crises involving the schooling process. In this setting, there are educational meetings with small groups of patients who can "narrate" their condition of distress and share efforts and progress in fighting the disease.
The treatment program can include the collaboration of other highly qualified professionals present in Studioerre such as the Rehabilitation Therapist, the Cognitive-Behavioral Psychologist expert in BioFeedBack, the Nutritionist and the Personal Trainer who complement and enrich a not exclusively medicalized intake.
The premise of the care pathway is, therefore, to offer a multidimesional dimension, welcoming and attentive to the individual needs of the headache patient.
