Hemicranial headache
My father is diagnosed with hemicranial headache. He is suffering from past 6-7 months. He had undergone angioplasty with 4 stents a year back. He is regularly taking medications and follow ups. However this new problem is really impacting his quality of life.
Medications prescribed- tryptomer 25, Gabapantin extended release 300, Neuracetam plus apart from regular post angioplasty medications.
However these neuro medicines are not providing any relief to his suffering.
Reports- His MRI had shown slight cervical spondylitis, rest all reports were normal.
Kindly guide me on this. What should be done?
