First headache center in the world

For more than 60 years, the Montefiore Headache Center has been a leader in the field. The MHC was actually the first center in the world dedicated to diagnosing and treating headaches. The MHC also conducts groundbreaking research with innovative treatment methods across the spectrum of headache disorders. MHC offers the services of four Neurologists and a Clinical Health Psychologist who are devoted to headache research, diagnosis, and treatment.

At the Montefiore Headache Center, we are devoted to a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating patients with head and/or facial pain. Whether you experience a headache attack once a month or on a daily basis, we provide a thorough clinical assessment using a variety of diagnostic tests, if needed to create an individualized, comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treatment and management. We treat adolescents and adults who suffer from various forms of headache.
