To provide targeted information about current therapy options and individual support services, the specialists from the Mitteldeutsches Kopfschmerzzentrum at UKJ, together with the MigräneLiga e.V.

Background: The UKJ and the Fight Against Pain
The Universitätsklinikum Jena in the district of Lobeda is the largest medical facility in Thuringia. The Mitteldeutsches Kopfschmerzzentrum located there specializes regionally and supra-regionally in the complex diagnostics and therapy of chronic headache disorders.
General Prevention Tips: Experts advise those prone to migraines or tension headaches to maintain as constant a daily routine as possible. Sufficient and regular sleep, fixed meals, and a consistently high fluid intake (ideally water or unsweetened teas) can help prevent attacks. In addition, moderate endurance sports in the fresh air and targeted relaxation techniques, such as Progressive Muscle Relaxation, are considered effective components in long-term pain prevention.
