Working with a headache specialist can completely transform your approach to migraine treatment. But for many of us, finding a local provider is easier said than done.
Headache specialists are neurologists who have an additional fellowship in migraine and headache medicine. There are only about 700 fellowship-trained headache specialists in the entire US, and they tend to be clustered in major cities. In less urban areas, there may be no specialists practicing nearby, and general neurologists have months-long waitlists.
That’s when Neura Health can help. Neura is a virtual headache and migraine clinic dedicated to providing top-quality care to anyone, anywhere.
How does Neura Health work?
A Neura membership gives you access to a board-certified headache specialist (a neurologist with additional fellowship training in migraine and headache care) and a headache care team to guide your migraine treatment journey. The membership includes:
- Unlimited online chat with your neurologist and care team
- Biweekly video care coaching sessions to keep you on track with your treatment plan
- A digital headache tracker you can use to record your migraine attacks, delivering insights into triggers and trends
- Ability to book same-day or next-day video visits with a headache specialist (for an additional per-visit fee or copay, if Neura is in-network with your insurance) Telehealth is a great option for patients with migraine.
How people with migraine can benefit from Neura Health
You can see a headache specialist quickly. If you’re in agony, or if your migraine symptoms have abruptly gotten worse, you don’t want to wait weeks to consult a doctor. For Neura members, appointments are available within 48 hours.
You can visit a neurologist from the comfort of home. In bed and in pain? No need to drag yourself to the doctor’s office. Via video conference, a specialist can see you when you’re in the throes of a migraine attack, prescribe medication and advise you on an effective migraine treatment plan. Neura can arrange prescription delivery as well as treatments including Botox, nerve blocks and at-home IVs.
All Neura Health clinicians are experts in migraine. Too many people with migraine have encountered healthcare providers who dismiss their concerns or simply don’t understand the condition. Neura’s providers — both board-certified neurologists and physician assistants for follow-up visits — specialize in migraine and other headache disorders. They work with complex and difficult-to-treat cases and can recommend off-label treatments if first-line treatments aren’t effective.
Care Coaches keep you on track. Adhering to your migraine treatment plan can be tough. You may have to eliminate certain foods, adjust your sleep schedule, remember your preventive therapies, etc. That’s what your Neura Care Coaches are for! They provide personalized emotional and practical support to help you make progress in your migraine journey.
