Diagnosed With Hemiplegic Migraines. Suffering Severe Pain, Blurred Vision And Functional Impairment. CT, MRI Came Clear. Treatment?

My 17 yr. old daughter was diagnosed back in April 2013 with hemiplegic migraines. We are currently seeing neurologists at our Children's Hospital. Nothing seems to get rid of the headaches. She has tried headache cocktails, Topamax, toradol, propranolol, ketorolac, verapamil and various other meds, acupuncture, massage, and chiropractic treatments. She has had the latest headache since Oct. 20 with on and off bouts of vision loss and numbness, tingling, pins and needles on her left side and severe continuous headache pain. The week of Oct. 20 she was admitted to Children's via the ER for one week. However they ended up discharging her with a worse headache than before and told us there was nothing else they could do. Her CTs, MRI, and lab work all come back "normal". She is having pain at an "8", and is having trouble functioning. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

Now that you have tried all the available medical options there is no use in repeating them. One option is repetitive trans cranial magnetic stimulation. rTMS has shown some promising results recently especially in hemiplegic migraine. Its not available at many places and you will have to contact your local GP to identify the place of such a facility.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
