In honor of #MigraineAwarenessWeek, we’d like to shine a spotlight on Jennifer Robblee, MD, MSc, FRCPC, FAHS, a headache neurologist in the #LewisHeadacheCenter at @BarrowNeuro. Her research focuses on improving care for patients with disabling headache and facial pain disorders, with primary emphasis on status migrainosus and refractory migraine. Dr. Robblee has recently contributed to several significant research advancements, including: 🧠Utilizing MRI to analyze and compare brain changes during status migrainosus, a severe migraine attack that lasts for over three days and often does not respond to medication. 👥Leading an international panel of experts in defining refractory migraine, aiming to improve recognition of patients whose migraine does not respond to preventive standard treatment. This is the first time an international consensus has ever been reached. 💉A collaboration with the @UCalgary completed a systematic review and guideline update reporting that intravenous prochlorperazine and greater occipital nerve blocks are a first-line therapy for patients presenting with migraine in the emergency department (ED). This study updated the American Headache Society’s 2016 guidelines for migraine treatment in the ED. Support from donors like you provides the critical funding needed to generate preliminary data for these studies, which can then expand and receive larger grants from external organizations.

At @BarrowNeuro, it is the unwavering support of our #neurosciencenurses that truly helps patients heal. Long after they leave, Barrow patients remember the nurses who gave them strength and inspired them to move forward with hope.
