    Expert Consultant Neurologist

    Headache & Facial Pain Specialist

    My name is Dr Luis Idrovo, and have been working in Leeds Neurosciences since 2014 as a Consultant Neurologist with interests in Cerebrovascular diseases and Headache disorders. I currently provide inpatient and outpatient work at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS trust including acute and general neurology clinics and specialized diagnostic and procedural headache-facial pain clinics.

    At Leeds Neurosciences, I designed and implemented a comprehensive procedural headache clinic where patients have the opportunity to be seen in a one-stop clinic to access novel treatments for complex headache and facial pain disorders including injectable treatments (Botox and Cranial Nerve Blocks) and more recently CGRP inhibitors (Monoclonal antibodies and Gepants). I also participate in current headache NIHR and commercial clinical trials, and I'm actively involved in teaching and supervising medical students, junior trainee doctors and fellows. I have been appointed to participate on regular lectures at the University of Leeds medical School.

    Having completed a specialized neurology and stroke training programme at La Paz University Teaching Hospitals in Madrid in 2009, I have a postgraduate diploma in Neurosciences at Autònoma University of Madrid. I have collaborated as an Honorary Neurologist at King's College Hospital - Headache Group in London and have been involved in direct clinical care of complex headache patients and in academic / research projects.

    I'm currently providing care to patients in the NHS and privately at Spire Methley Park hospital in Leeds.

    Treatment Options For Headache Disorders

    Headaches and migraines have always been treated as side effects of other diseases using respective medication, with unreliable results for patients. Modern research however, has led to more understanding of the mechanisms that cause headaches and migraines resulting in effective, well received treatments such as Botox, neuromodulation devices and CGRP therapies
