Pain expert’s advice could go straight to your head

A PAIN expert will be sharing his knowledge and experience with patients and doctors in two free online webinars about headaches.

In July this year, Dr Madgy Aglan opened Pain Consultants Ltd, a private clinic at Link 665 in Carrs Industrial Estate in Haslingden.

He said: “The most common complaint that patients have for more than three months is a headache. It can be really underestimated the effect this can have on the patient.

“More importantly, it is under-diagnosed and because it is not properly diagnosed, it is not properly treated and people suffer for years.”

Severe headaches not only cause pain, but anxiety and depression, lack of sleep, relationship problems and they impact on the patient’s ability to work and often lead to them presenting to their GPs or turning up at A&E.

Dr Aglan has worked in the NHS for more than 32 years and continues to also work as a consultant.

He has produced a self-help headache video on his Facebook page

Pain Consultants Ltd.

In it he outlines a 10-point plan to relieve and help to diagnose headaches.

Dr Aglan will be delivering the first webinar – titled Understanding and Managing Your Headache Pain – on Monday, October 19, at 7pm.

He will be running a second free webinar on headaches - this time for doctors and medical professionals - a few weeks later.

For tickets to the webinar register on Eventbrite and search for ‘Understanding and Managing Your Headache Pain’.
