Transforming headache care in Pune with personalised treatment plans, cutting-edge therapies, and a multidisciplinary team
Pune – In a significant stride toward advancing neurological care, Ruby Hall Clinic has announced the launch of Pune’s first-of-its-kind Comprehensive Headache Clinic. This specialised outpatient service is designed to diagnose and treat all types of headaches from routine migraines to complex neurological cases offering patients access to a full spectrum of diagnostics, treatments, and expert care under one roof.
The initiative is spearheaded by a team of leading specialists, including Dr. Santosh Sontakke, Consultant Neurologist; Dr.Bandhisti; Dr. Simon Grant, Physician and Trustee, Ruby Hall Clinic; and Dr. Lomesh Bhirud, Neurologist and Neuro-Interventionalist.
Headaches are among the most common neurological complaints, affecting millions of people globally. Despite their frequency, they are often underdiagnosed or inadequately managed, leading to chronic pain, reduced productivity, and diminished quality of life. Recognising this critical gap, Ruby Hall Clinic has taken the lead in establishing a clinic that provides focused, evidence-basedheadache management.
Patients undergo comprehensive evaluations to identify the underlying cause of their headaches, be it neurological, vascular, musculoskeletal, or lifestyle-related. Based on the diagnosis, they receive personalised treatment plans tailored to their specific condition. Whether it’s an occasional migraine or a chronic, treatment-resistant headache, the clinic is committed to providing timely diagnoses and effective, long-term relief, ensuring patients no longer have to endure their pain in silence.
Dr. Lomesh Bhirud, Neurologist and Neuro-Interventionalist at Ruby Hall Clinic, says, “There are more than 20 types of headaches, each with its own underlying cause and treatment approach. What makes this clinic unique is our ability to not only diagnose accurately but also to provide advanced therapies, including local nerve blocks, botox for chronic migraine, dry needling, and even intra-arterial embolization in complex vascular cases.”
The Headache Clinic functions as a specialised outpatient service where patients can either walk in or be referred by other departments for more targeted evaluation and care. With a multidisciplinary approach, the clinic brings neurologists, pain specialists, and interventional radiologists together to provide cohesive and comprehensive treatment.
Dr. Purvez Grant, Chief Cardiologist and Chairman & Managing Trustee of Ruby Hall Clinic, said, “At Ruby Hall Clinic, we are committed to innovation and excellence in patient care. The launch of the Headache Clinic is a reflection of that mission. This specialised service allows us to offer targeted treatment to patients who have long struggled with undiagnosed or persistent headaches.”
Mr. Behram Khodaiji, CEO of Ruby Hall Clinic, added, “Headache patients often go from doctor to doctor without lasting relief. We wanted to create a centralised facility where they can receive comprehensive care and consistent follow-up. This clinic is about simplifying the patient journey and improving outcomes.”
With the launch of this first-of-its-kind service in Pune, Ruby Hall Clinic continues to reaffirm its position as a leader in advanced healthcare solutions, providing hope, relief, and a better quality of life for patients living with the often-overlooked burden of headaches.
