Meet Dr. Alexander Mauskop
The headache clinic is led by Dr. Alexander Mauskop, a board-certified neurologist and a headache specialist with over 30 years of experience in treating headaches and pain. In the early 1990s, he was one of the first neurologists to start using Botox for the treatment of headaches. Since then, he has treated thousands of patients and trained over 300 doctors from across the United States and around the world in the use of Botox. He participated in research studies that led to the FDA approval of Botox for the treatment of chronic migraines and many studies of different migraine medications. He has published many articles on magnesium, herbal supplements, and other topics. His fourth and most comprehensive book, The End of Migraines: 150 Ways to Stop Your Pain is available on Amazon.
Pioneering research in headache treatment
For over three decades, Dr. Alexander Mauskop has advanced the field of headache medicine through groundbreaking research in alternative therapies — especially magnesium. He and his colleagues were the first to study intravenous magnesium infusion for migraine and cluster headaches, making it part of the standard approach in many hospitals and clinics.

Dr. Mauskop has shared his expertise worldwide, lecturing at Cornell, Harvard, Columbia, NYU, Dartmouth, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and leading European institutions such as Charité in Berlin.

Research
A New Study of Meat Intake, Genetics, and Brain Health
A newly published Swedish study suggests that the relationship between diet and brain aging may be more genetically specific than previously understood. Researchers followed over 2,000 older adults for up to 15 years and found that higher meat consumption was associated with slower cognitive decline and lower dementia risk, but only in those carrying the APOE E4 genetic variant, the most common hereditary risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. This may be relevant for people with headaches.
