Latest Advances in Migraine Care
Migraine is a complex disorder involving large neuronal networks with multiple peripheral and central factors. Activation of the trigeminal ganglion has long been known to trigger the headache phase of a migraine attack. A better understanding of the peripheral mechanisms that lead to this activation has identified many possible targets for novel treatments.

Transforming Toast with Tech: Modernizing Ketogenic Therapy
For centuries, dietary manipulation, including fasting, has been used for the treatment of epilepsy. In the early 1920s, physicians at Mayo Clinic discovered that a low carbohydrate diet provided similar effects to fasting and coined the term “ketogenic diet,” which is still in use today. Ketogenic therapy (KT) is a diet with high fat, low carbohydrate and adequate protein intake. The KT program at the Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children’s is a robust clinical program staffed by experienced dietitians, psychologists, pharmacists and epileptologists
