In this episode, join me for an extremely educational conversation with renowned neurologist and headache specialist, Dr. Alan Rapoport, a clinical professor of neurology at UCLA. Dr. Rapoport educates listeners about various headache disorders, including migraines, tension-type headaches, and cluster headaches. Dr. Rapoport discusses the complexities, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for these conditions, highlighting emerging technologies. The discussion also covers Bontriage, a platform co-founded by Dr. Rapoport, which leverages AI for headache diagnosis and improving patient outcomes. Dr. Rapoport walks us through an extremely helpful headache assessment available on his website for patients to chronicle their headache histories to bring to their doctors, therefore maximizing time in the exam room. He also discusses his app, Migraine Mentor, available on app stores. 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast01:16 Meet Dr. Alan Rapoport06:05 Understanding Migraines13:51 Migraine Treatments and Challenges25:26 Exploring Tension-Type Headaches45:28 Cluster Headaches: The Worst Pain Known to Man49:26 Understanding Cluster Headaches54:23 Diagnosing Headaches: Clinical Approach56:09 The Role of Imaging in Headache Diagnosis58:53 Challenges in Headache Diagnosis and Treatment59:09 Sinus Issues and Headaches01:02:46 Introducing Bon Triage and AI in Headache Diagnosis01:24:45 Migraine Mentor App: Tracking and Managing Headaches01:27:21 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsConnect with Dr. Rapoport
