Neurology Department’s Targeted Therapy Overcomes Treatment-Resistant Headaches

Chronic, treatment-resistant migraines that strike again and again aren’t just about excruciating pain—they often trigger insomnia, anxiety, and brain fog, derailing daily life habits and productivity. And when traditional medications and physical therapy fall short, long-term use only brings more side effects and drug resistance.

Peking University International Hospital’s Neurology Department offers a targeted injection therapy for headache disorders. This treatment may be an option for patients who have not found adequate relief with standard approaches.
A 20-Year Struggle, Finally Turned Around
Ms. Zhang—who had suffered from migraines for over two decades—walked into Dr. XING Yan’s consultation room at the hospital. She’d had headaches since her youth, but over the past three years, things had gotten much worse. She’d been to countless doctors, tried every painkiller and nerve block out there—nothing worked. The relentless cycles of pain had left her physically and emotionally drained.

After a thorough review of her headache patterns, medication history, and test results, Dr. XING diagnosed her with refractory migraine and recommended injection therapy. Ms. Zhang was initially skeptical—how could an injection stop a headache? But Dr. XING walked her through the science, the clinical evidence, and the fact that this treatment is now endorsed by multiple international guidelines and widely used in leading hospitals. That put her mind at ease.

The procedure itself was quick and minimally invasive, performed with precision by our team. At her two-month follow-up, Ms. Zhang reported a dramatic drop in both the frequency and severity of her attacks. The headaches that had haunted her for twenty years were finally under control—no more daily pills, no more endless pain cycles.
Targeting the Root Cause—Breaking Through the Limits of Traditional Treatment

Targeted injection therapy is recognized by leading global guidelines as a first-line treatment for refractory chronic migraine—specifically for patients who don’t respond to conventional care. The core mechanism? Precisely targeting muscle spasms and nerve endings in the head and surrounding areas, blocking abnormal nerve signals, and easing muscle tension. The result: reduced pain sensitivity, fewer headache triggers, and long-lasting relief that actually tackles the root cause instead of just masking symptoms.
