Headache Center of Northwest
The Headache Center of Northwest at Memorial Hermann Northwest Hospital specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of headache and migraine disorders.
Led by Pamela Blake, M.D., a nationally known expert on neurological disorders, the Center offers innovative treatments including surgery to address chronic headaches caused by neuralgia. Neuralgia occurs when a nerve is compressed or restricted by surrounding structures.
Pharmacological treatments, chemo denervation using Botox and myoblock, trigger point injections, occipital nerve blocks and trigeminal branch blocks are also offered.
The Headache Center is designed for patient treatment, recovery and comfort. From the subdued lighting to the soothing and quiet decor, the center is free of jarring colors or sounds. The designated “quiet room” for the patient experiencing a headache is dimly lit and equipped with a reclining chair for maximum comfort. Our responsive staff understands every patient’s need for a gentle, no-hassles experience.
The Headache Center of Northwest is committed to exceptional patient care. For more information, please contact us at 713-426-3337.
