Strive for 5 – A New Headache and Migraine Framework

A leading headache specialist clinic, Mind+ Neurology has released a new framework for understanding expectations for headache and migraine called, ‘Strive for 5.'

MEQUON, Wis. - A leading headache specialist clinic, Mind+ Neurology, (12200 Corporate Parkway, Mequon, WI and 1725 N Casaloma Drive, Appleton, WI), has released a new framework for understanding expectations for headache and migraine called, ‘Strive for 5.' Patients should seek help from Mind+ Neurology if experiencing five or more headaches per month, and head pain that exceeds more than a 5 out of 10 on the pain scale.

"In headache medicine, we measure how well a patient is doing by determining the frequency and severity of their head pain," said Dr. Aaron Bubolz, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer at Mind+. "Implementing the Strive for 5 framework helps to define goals for our patients when it comes to managing head pain occurrences."

Headache treatment plan options

A headache treatment plan could include both a prevention plan to prevent head pain from starting, and an acute or rescue treatment plan for when the pain strikes.

"As a part of the Strive for 5 framework, our goal is to have our patients see at least a 50% improvement in frequency and severity within 5 months. Many patients see a significant improvement in head pain even sooner," said Aaron Hart, co-founder and CEO, "which leads to a better quality of life overall."

Between the preventative measures and at-home acute rescue treatment, Mind+ also offers their patients Headache Urgent Care. Established patients can walk in without an appointment and be treated immediately. Mind+ Neurology clinical studies have found that 9 out of 10 patients see at least a 50% decrease in the severity of their head pain within 60 minutes of arriving at the clinic.

"When a migraine attack strikes beyond a level 5 on the pain scale, that’s when our Headache Urgent Care comes into play," said Jacob Hart, co-founder and COO, "With IV Therapy and a multitude of treatment options, the team at Mind+ is here to find relief from headache and migraine suffering."

The Mind+ Strive for 5 Framework:

Fewer than 5 headache days per month. Lessen the frequency of head pain.
Less than 5 out of 10 in pain level. Lessen the head pain severity.
More than 50% improvement in symptoms. Improving day-to-day life.
A 5-month timeframe. 50%(+) reduction in head pain symptoms within 5 months following a Mind+ Headache Treatment Plan.
