Cluster headaches are a common and serious condition that can be distressing for those affected. When addressed correctly, personalizing the treatment plans for a patient can offer many benefits. Dr. Mingus can greatly benefit and provide improved care and support for his Cluster headache patients.
How Cluster Headaches Affect the Individual
Cluster headaches are a severe form of headache that causes extreme pain around the eyes, temple, or sides of the head. They are described as one of the most painful experiences a person can endure. Cluster headaches can occur regularly in episodes. An individual may experience just one headache attack or a whole group of them, known as a cluster. They can continue daily for weeks or even months, and then the periods of remission may last for years.
How Dr. Mingus Personalizes Treatment Plans for Cluster Headaches
Dr. Mingus takes an individual approach to each of his patients when treating their cluster headaches. As everyone experiences the pain differently, he customizes treatment plans for every patient. Dr. Mingus begins by discussing the patient’s symptoms and how their headaches interfere in their lives, and looks at their medical history and previous treatment experiences. He takes into account any other health issues the patient may have, medications they are on, previous treatment reactions, and allergies to determine the best treatment for their specific case.
The Benefits of Personalized Treatment Plans
Reduced Side Effects
When personalized treatment plans are tailored to an individual, side effects experienced from the treatments can be minimized. Dr. Mingus can prescribe the safest and most effective treatment available instead of using a general outdated recommendation.

He may use simple lifestyle changes, medications, monitoring, or other treatments to manage and reduce the intensity and frequency of an individual’s cluster headaches.
