What is stress?

Headache is one of the most common disorders caused by stress and one of the reasons why stress requires treatment. Scientists have confirmed that stress can be a factor that provokes the onset of a headache, as well as accelerating the flow of this disease into a chronic headache. And the headache itself can also be a stressful factor!

In response to stress loads, dysregulation of the interaction of the endocrine, nervous and immune systems occurs. This leads to the development of disturbances in biochemical reactions, a special place is occupied by a violation of the exchange of neurotransmitters - "chemical mediators". Under the influence of chronic stress, immune disorders occur: autoantibodies to neurotransmitters, serotonin, neuropeptides are formed, which leads to disorders in the central nervous system. Such a persistent violation contributes to the occurrence of chronic headache. Chronic pain syndrome, in turn, leads to increased immune disorders. You can break this vicious circle only by learning to control your psycho-emotional experiences, which is part of modern stress therapy.

In our clinic, after relieving acute forms and effectively treating stress, we teach our patients self-management techniques for stress management at home. This helps to avoid relapses and improve the quality of life.
