Dear team at the Kiel Pain Clinic,

In May I was able to spend a little more than two weeks in the Kiel Pain Clinic and would like to thank you all very much for this (life-changing) stay. I intentionally let some time pass in order to implement what I had learned in everyday life and to find out whether I could expect long-term relief from my symptoms - even outside the protected space of the clinic. I'm feeling much better!
Before Kiel I was at a point where I was struggling with migraines and more and more other pains every day and had lost all courage to live. I went to different doctors and no one could help me. My family (I am married and have a baby and a toddler) suffered from the condition just like me and my stay in the pain clinic was something like our last hope.
They took excellent care of me and took my complaints seriously. I have understood my illness and am in the process of accepting it. New medications and a precise intake plan, a change in diet, relaxation exercises and much more that I learned there help me. The clinic staff is very friendly and helpful. Prof. Göbel and all the doctors take their time and radiate calm. The exchange with fellow patients helps immensely. Maybe I'll have to go back to Kiel at some point if things get worse again. But now I live with the certainty that they can really help me there and I am looking positively into the future again.
I can only thank you very much again!

With best regards,
Hannah Krämer

The masseur Julian is really a top man, after a lot of good treatments I felt physically better than before ❤️ he has a lot of knowledge about what he does, it can be done away with at times but you have to go through a really great guy. Thank you thank you

I felt the same way about a lot of what I read here, about feeling well cared for and understood.
My stay was in April 2024. I took home a lot of helpful information about migraine treatment.
I felt well cared for and supported by the sisters, especially during the painful days.
Miss Dr.
Therefore and Ms. Dr. Zimmermann explained the current treatment steps to me patiently and understandably during the visit. The conversations gave me courage and confidence regarding how I would continue to deal with migraines.
After days of pain, Ms. Krasko from the physiotherapy department wonderfully loosened my tense muscles with a sensitive touch.
Thank you for all of this!

Dear pain clinic team,

I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the excellent care and support I received during my treatment with you. Her professional expertise, coupled with a warm and caring atmosphere, not only helped me relieve my pain, but also paved the way to a better quality of life. Thank you for putting so much dedication into your work every day.

With deepest gratitude,
Stephan

The Kiel Pain Clinic is a blessing for every migraine patient. Thank you thank you thank you.

Hello, I was in Kiel in July 2023 and can only recommend it to everyone. That was the best thing that could have happened to me. No matter who, everyone was very nice and helpful!!!!
I have been dealing with migraines for a long time and already knew a lot but still learned something new. The exchange between the patients was also valuable.
His migraines were taken seriously.

I was a patient in the clinic from March 22, 2023 to April 7, 2023.
I arrived the evening before and stayed overnight in a guest room at the clinic.
This took away a lot of stress for me between arrival and admission. I came for migraines and various physical pains.
My migraine was previously treated with antibody injections (neurologists in my hometown). To help with the physical situation, I was switched to medication, which worked very well. Everyone in the clinic is very friendly and helpful.
They try very hard to support the patient in every situation. Mr.
W. in physio is just great. I was impressed by his style and ability. I can well imagine going to this clinic again, despite the distance!
The food is very good.
The kitchen service team is super nice and makes a lot possible!! I liked that I had the opportunity to try new things. Yoga, Qigong, endurance, lectures, PMR and much more.

I was a bit skeptical about chronic eye pain, but they were finally able to prove my symptoms in black and white. That was a big help to me. Everything was very positive all around, Professor Göbel and Mr. Wichert deserve special mention. Thank you for everything and greetings to my group of five.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team and Professor Göbel!
I came to Kiel because of tension-type headaches and chronic back pain.
So I wasn’t the “typical” headache or migraine patient there. -Nevertheless, I was able to be helped and the stay was the best thing that could have happened to me! In the clinic I was given well-founded information and, above all, with a few measures that no one in my area at home had thought of, I achieved an enormous improvement in my condition.
This is certainly due to the close support from doctors and specialist staff and the enormous know-how that you can draw on here. I started the journey home with lots of useful suggestions for home that I can easily integrate into my everyday life. My life is worth living again, and I am eternally grateful for that!
Also worth mentioning is the friendly, warm-hearted atmosphere that exists in the clinic, the excellent physio team and the very good cuisine. My thanks also go to them!
A completely successful concept.
Best regards,
Saskia Eckrich

I was in the pain clinic for 16 days for migraines without aura. I have migraines between 8-16 days a month. After taking a few medications, I am currently only using antibody therapy. In the pain clinic I was able to learn a lot about the disease as well as about nutrition, mindfulness and various relaxation exercises. I took advantage of the time in the pain clinic and took a voluntary break from medication. I would never have imagined that before my stay. I have now been without painkillers for the longest time (5 weeks) and have had migraines four times in the last 30 days, which I was able to cope with through meditation and relaxation. I'm glad that my stay showed me new ways to deal with the pain. I feel like I can hear my body and the signals more again. I now meditate for 10 minutes every morning and evening and do several breathing exercises throughout the day to relax. I try to implement the knowledge I have learned about nutrition. The few days of pain indicate that the concept has a positive effect on me, I hope it stays that way in the future. Of course it is not a completely “suffering-free life”, but it is a better quality of life. I can only recommend that everyone take advantage of their time there and get involved in what the pain clinic has to offer.

25 years of pain clinic Kiel. During my daily walk, I see the Kiel Pain Clinic and I am always happy about the continued existence and success of Prof. Dr. Göbel and his team. The history of the clinic is a model for a successful path from startup to established company. Congratulations and continued good luck.

This stay was a gift for me!!!
You are in a protected house for 16 days without having to justify your pain. Every patient has pain and corresponding understanding. All employees, physiotherapists, doctors and administrative staff are extremely friendly and are available to give you advice and support. During this time I learned to accept my diagnosis. The information about cluster headaches is described and explained so well in the online seminars and the divine book by Prof. Göbel that you feel understood. The ward doctors and nurses are very friendly and have special knowledge of the different types of headaches. The physiotherapists' offerings are very well chosen and you learn a lot about how to deal with your body on a daily basis. Now I can deal with the headache to the extent that I can still work.
What more do you want. A big thank you to the whole team.
Iris Landgraf from Cologne

In February 2022 I was in the pain clinic for 16 days because of my severe migraines. It was like a lifeline for me, with great hope that I would get some relief. The days fulfilled all my hopes and even gave me a roadmap for the next few months. The all-round care and support initially gives you the feeling that you are being taken seriously, that experts can listen well and help. Everyone, the nurses, the doctors, the physical therapists, the administrative staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Even the kitchen staff fulfilled requests due to intolerances or intolerances. I drove home strengthened and thanked Professor Göbel for his help, his commitment and his human nature. The lectures were very easy to understand, and it is not easy to explain difficult medical issues well. The nutrition lecture was also great. Of course I hope that I don't have to go to the clinic again. But I know where to turn if I feel really bad again.

It was an intense time. I learned a lot. Personally, I think you are in very good hands here. Everyone tries to show you a new way. Of course, this doesn't happen overnight. You shouldn't expect miracles, but rather a time together to try things out. All I can say is, “Thank you for allowing me to use my time.” ... A big thank you goes to the sports therapists, to the theme of the dining room (where everything is made possible). To the cleaning staff but of course also to the nurses and doctors at the Kiel Pain Clinic. Go on like that.

I have been suffering from cluster headaches for 4.5 years.
The best sayings I ever heard were from two doctors.

My family doctor: When I told him about it at the beginning of my cluster headaches, he said: I've heard of these headaches before and have seen one patient so far. He then moved up north and then the cluster headaches were gone! I asked him if I could have it as a prescription – without saying any words.

In my worst phase, my neurologist sent me to a clinic. When I described my current situation to the doctor, medication, etc., he listened to me and then said to me: Ms. S... you were certainly very pretty at one time, but at the moment you look like a pain patient. I was speechless. Why did he think I was here? Why did I care about my appearance? I was just so tired, drained, weak and had no energy left for the next attack...

Dear team at the Kiel Pain Clinic.
For me, my stay with you came after a very long and complicated course of migraines. I have gained hope again, and I am more than grateful for that...

Hello,
I was with you fourteen years ago and I have very fond memories of my stay.
Today I would like to thank you with a little song in which I describe my migraine illness with a little self-irony:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqCjamYcrOI
In the end I seek help from the saints.
This is of course meant as a joke. I would rather place my hopes on staying in Kiel again. Best regards
Roland Houben

Many thanks to the team at the Kiel Pain Clinic!!
I was a guest for the third time
and again had a very good time in Kiel.
I would love to come back later.
Great food & treatments,
simply balm for every troubled patient's soul.
Thanks
and greetings from Thuringia

Thank you for all the information and suggestions. The connection between migraines and noise as a stress factor is often reflected in the pain diary. Thank you to everyone who works tirelessly to care for patients in pain.

What you shouldn't say to people with migraines:
You're doing well, your body is taking the time off you need.

Dear pain clinic team,
thank you for your loving treatment of me.
Today I'm back home from the clinic after a successful 16 days
and I really hope that the success lasts for a long time.
I send many greetings to everyone.

Hello,

I was in Kiel in December 2019 and after six months have passed, I would like to thank you for giving me back my joy of life there. For years, tension headaches tormented me so much that I took 3-8 painkillers a day (approx. 2000 a year) (mainly paracetamol with codeine) to get through the day. After a break from painkillers (which I would never have endured at home) and a change in medication, I only suffer from headaches 1-3 days a month. An incredible gain in quality of life. I can only advise anyone who reads this and has a similar pain story and, like most people in their immediate area, have searched through all the doctors and therapists without any resounding success, to try therapy at the Kiel Pain Clinic. I had almost given up on my life.

The best usually comes at the end. That was also the case for me. It was the last straw that I was clinging to, the Kiel Migraine Clinic. After taking a triptan almost every day to get through the day, I was ready for the clinic in Kiel. At an outpatient appointment with Prof. Goebel, I was soon admitted to the clinic as an inpatient. it was the best thing that could have happened to me. That was two years ago now. Since then I have taken 2 triptans. For me life is beautiful again, I had hell in my head for 38 years. Prof. Goebel is very helpful and I would like to thank him very much. Thank you for your call back, which I asked Ms. Fromm for 3 weeks ago. Thank you to the entire team at the clinic. I would take on the 1000 km straight away if the migraine came back. Irene Meier

Hello, I was in the pain clinic at the turn of the year 2018/19.
A great experience. I have learned that I can do a lot myself to get migraines under control or to reduce them. I came with 20-25 days of pain per month and left with about 2-3 days. All around an excellent program. Very educational, interesting and relaxing. Everyone there is super nice and the room was great, as was the food. I would simply recommend it to anyone who has problems with headaches or migraines. The art, of course, is to put everything you have learned into practice in everyday life. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to do everything in the first attempt, but it's helpful to read through the documents from Kiel again and remember everything I learned. I'm full of hope that I'll be able to get my migraines under control a second time. Thank you so much for this hope, which I would never have without Kiel

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to the entire team at the Kiel Pain Clinic. My stay in Kiel helped me tremendously in dealing with the pain in everyday life and being content and happy despite everything.

I wish all employees, doctors and the professor a healthy and successful new year!
My stay in September/October 2018 was a complete success for me!
From the moment you enter the clinic until you are discharged, you are taken seriously and valued.
The team around the professor is professional and always very helpful.
With almost 40 years of experience with migraines, I have finally been successfully helped.
I think I've tried everything. I knew a lot, but I internalized everything here in the 16 days!
The professor's book is always very important at the same time. The seminars, the food and the sports activities demonstrated the importance.
Sure, taking a medication break is easier in the clinic than at home. But I do a lot more at home. Being active yourself is also the motto!!!!
Everything regular, eating, sleeping and appointments.
My quality of life has improved enormously.
My seizures have reduced significantly!!
I still like to think about the atmosphere in the house every day, the very good food, the beautiful room, the view of the water, walks along the Schwentine and the nice fellow patients. Kudos to the kitchen with awareness of the importance of carbohydrates! The sports offering is great and you can try everything out.
The psychologists help you very well. Professor Göbel has realized his lifelong dream and we benefit greatly from it.
Thank you very much ! I can only highly recommend the clinic.
A thousand thanks to Allle! Regina K from Hamburg

Dear Prof. Göbel, dear clinical team,

I would like to thank you all very much for the excellent, competent, friendly and loving care that I received during my hospital stay in 2018. Thank you for everything good and helpful that I was able to experience with you and for the newly acquired knowledge that I was able to take with me.

After some specialists at my home were unable to help me with the diagnosis and treatment, I arrived at the Kiel Pain Clinic in a very exhausted and discouraged state.

Since I have a long way to Kiel, I was grateful for the opportunity to arrive the day before the admission and stay overnight in a guest room at the clinic at a very fair price.

Everything had been processed quickly by your administration in advance. And every subsequent waiting time, no matter how long it may seem at the beginning, is worth it! I can't imagine anything better for severely affected pain patients than the Kiel Pain Clinic!

Since I had to fill out a long questionnaire when registering and list all previous therapies and treatments, a treatment plan was already developed for me (which can be adjusted if necessary), which I was given when I registered as an inpatient, along with the book by Prof. Göbel and several relaxation CDs that I was able to use during my stay. The admission by the treating doctor took place in the hours after arrival and included a very thorough examination and a long conversation. I was taken really seriously and was actually listened to at length! A valuable commodity in this day and age.

The therapies began almost immediately, which I found very pleasant.
The time of your stay is used optimally. On the treatment plan I found fixed appointments such as individual treatments (physio, psychologist, biofeedback), fixed group appointments (pain management, progressive muscle relaxation, doctor or therapist lectures), but also free group appointments with a variety of relaxation and sports options (at different levels of stress) that I wanted Depending on your mood, you could put it together flexibly yourself. A brilliant concept!

There were daily rounds in the room, during which I was able to ask any questions I had in peace and quiet at any time. If I was going to an individual appointment at that time, the doctor came by later.

The food is very tasty and varied. At lunchtime you will even be treated to 4 courses! And a very special luxury at every meal is the table with various types of fruit, from which you can also take something with you for various snacks. It's also great that there are glass carafes and glasses available for us patients in the patient kitchens, so that you can help yourself to the good Kiel drinking water at any time.

The friendliness and empathy of all employees is exceptional. During these 16 days I felt wonderfully cared for, in good hands, cared for, pampered and deeply relaxed. I went back home strengthened and encouraged and with a good, further treatment plan.

And the best thing of all: I'm feeling much better now! Which, by the way, not only makes me very happy, but also my entire family.

Dear clinic team

On Wednesday everyone proved once again how wonderful and empathetic they are with us/me!

Thank you very much for the good treatment, for taking me seriously and for listening.

I'm especially thinking of the lovely lady at the reception, Dr.
Heinze's secretary, to Dr. Heinze and his wife and the lovely sisters from the 3rd floor. They all made sure that I felt good despite the pain and that I was still happy to come back for outpatient treatment even after more than 2 years.

They all do an incredibly good job! I can only recommend everyone to visit this clinic if they have a pain disorder.

I give it a full score!
I am so grateful!
I was welcomed spontaneously and easily!
Despite a long wait!
I have a cluster headache, Professor Dr.
Göbel has taken care of me! The entire staff really tried hard! The surroundings of the clinic are very nicely located and most importantly, I was discharged at the beginning of August 2018 with a good therapy plan! So when the next episode comes, I have medication that will help!!! “Thank you” from the bottom of my heart

I was in the pain clinic in Kiel in September 2017.
I can only recommend the clinic. I came in with severe chronic migraines and had to go through painkiller withdrawal. I was treated professionally, competently and comprehensively and the entire staff was simply great as a person. A lot of time was taken; doctors, therapists, nurses, etc. were always approachable, patient and attentive. The whole team is well connected and so each of the doctors, therapists and nurses is always well informed and up to date. Prof. Dr.
Göbel takes a lot of time for the patients and answers all questions. He is very competent, humane and has built an excellent team in his clinic. I learned an incredible amount there, the patient seminars were very informative and helpful.
The behavioral therapy was very helpful for me and my therapist was simply brilliant. The sporting offerings are huge.
The physio department is also very good and professionally competent. The general mood among the patients is very pleasant and friendly. The food is very good and varied. Even after my hospital stay, any questions that arose were answered.
I can recommend this clinic without reservation.
It was the best decision for me to go there. I have implemented a lot of what I learned and have already been able to reduce my migraines and that is a really good feeling. In total it was 16 days, which helped me a lot and still helps me.
Many thanks to the entire pain clinic team.

As early as January 2016, they were able to help me very well with dealing with migraines and tension headaches and reducing the number and intensity of the attacks. This could only be achieved with the extremely friendly, courteous and competent staff led by Professor Göbel. I have already met other migraine researchers and the founders of the migraine clinic, all of whom also had their strengths. However, Mr. Göbel is the leading doctor and scientist in this field, and that's what most people here and outside say. Now after 2 years I can refresh myself in the Kiel Pain Clinic and recharge my batteries to deal with the migraines. And things are already looking very good a few days before departure. Particularly supported by great new real friends that I was able to make here. I admire the patients with constant pain or constantly severe pain, because there is no need for constant complaining, but rather there is a willingness to work positively themselves and humor is not neglected.

It's been half a year since my visit, and since then I've been able to compare rehabilitation treatment and outpatient pain therapists with Kiel. I am so grateful to have been accepted there! I did not expect such treatment and facility and have not yet experienced it. You are completely informed, cared for and, above all, taken seriously. The human aspect is paramount, you take enough time and the people there are always friendly. This is not a given! You can tell that Prof. Goebel has built a life's work here and that all the employees are pulling together to dedicate themselves with passion to migraine treatment. I can wholeheartedly recommend going there if you suffer from migraines. You won't be left alone here! Thanks to the pain clinic team :)

Dear pain clinic team,
thank you for allowing me to be with you in November.
I was helped so much.
Never before have I felt so understood. God bless you all.
M. Clemens

Staying at the Kiel Pain Clinic was the best decision I made. I've tried a lot, but since my stay in the clinic I've been virtually migraine-free, which is a nice feeling. You felt welcomed there and you were well looked after. I can only recommend everyone to give it a try.

Hello everyone!

I was in the pain clinic for 16 days in May and can now say that going there was the best decision of my life. I hesitated for a long time whether I should take the step and had some concerns, but in hindsight all worries were for nothing and it was definitely worth it. Of course, you rarely leave this clinic as “cured”, but you should be aware of that either way. Unfortunately, you can't just "magic away" migraines - that would be nice, but you can at least limit the extent of the suffering somewhat through appropriate therapy.

Everyone in the house, from the doctors and therapists to the nurses and even the kitchen and cleaning staff, is just incredibly nice and always concerned about the well-being of the patients. You can tell at every point that everyone there knows their way around pain patients and is therefore given the best possible care. The whole team is well connected and so each of the doctors, therapists and nurses there is constantly informed, meaning that they actually work “hand in hand” - instead of one hand not knowing what the other is doing, which is often the case elsewhere.

During this time I took a medication break, which I was very afraid of because I actually couldn't imagine how I would last a day without my painkillers.
I felt very bad on the first day, but I was immediately looked after very kindly and they tried to make me as comfortable as possible. A big thank you at this point, especially to Sister Sabine, who was truly an angel. When I was lying in bed with a bad migraine headache and nausea, I was immediately brought an ice pack as well as tea and rusks because I couldn't touch my actual food. Whenever you didn't feel well, the food was brought straight to your room so you didn't have to go down to the dining room. Sometimes you didn't even have to say what was on your mind, but rather you had the feeling that it was being read from your eyes. If you were unable to attend individual appointments, an alternative appointment was found immediately and easily. Once when I was on a drip and couldn't go to an appointment with my psychologist, she simply came to me and moved the session to my room. It's just really wonderfully uncomplicated there. At this point I would also like to say a big compliment to Ms. Fuhrmann, who really made me feel like I was in wonderful hands.

On the subject of food, all I can say is: I'm a really picky eater and don't like a lot of things, but if you can't find anything there, you can't be helped.

The patient seminars by Prof. Göbel and Dr. Heinze was very interesting and educational and even if you thought you were already well informed, you still learned a lot of new things about his illness and its treatment options. At the lecture by Dr. We often laughed heartily at Heinze because he managed to explain the topic to us in a very entertaining way.

Overall, it was a very worthwhile 16 days and although I often didn't feel well, I felt very comfortable and, above all, in good hands the whole time. You won't be left alone with your pain there and you'll meet lots of like-minded people - that's worth so much.

Many thanks to the entire team at the pain clinic - and to all fellow sufferers who are still hesitating: do it and fill out the application, it's worth it.

My stay in Kiel: December 29, 2015 – January 11, 2016;
Duration: 14 days Findings: Migraine without aura;
Pain days approx. 10-14 days / month Result: indescribably great improvement;
no medication for the whole year after the hospital stay; Pain days approx. 1-2 days / quarter How: The disease “migraine” is understood through explanations from the doctors and other specialists at the pain clinic.
Recommendations from Kiel have largely been implemented in everyday life. Indiscipline is usually “punished” directly. Conclusion: If you know how, you have to do it yourself.
THX to all employees of the Pain Clinic Kiel.
Sincerely,
Andreas Ewert

Hello,

I would like to thank everyone involved who helped me get rid of my constant headaches.
I was treated as an inpatient at the Kiel Pain Clinic in October 2016 for 16 days and can recommend them with a clear conscience.
I learned a lot about painkillers and everything was explained very clearly. I successfully completed a medication break in the clinic. Even if you didn't feel well one day or another, you won't be left alone with your worries and fears. The nurses and doctors were available at any time of the day or night. The mental well-being of the patients is also taken into account. So special thanks to the nice psychologist, the always cheerful masseur and the good cuisine. The food was so delicious! And a big thank you goes to the polite and hard-working cleaning staff. Everything was very clean and I felt very comfortable. Also a thank you to my dear roommate, with whom I always got along well. We even had the most beautiful room on the 3rd floor :) Everything possible is done to ensure that the patients have a good and successful stay in the clinic.
From the time I was discharged until today, I have only needed mild painkillers for tension headaches 3 days a month.

Best regards, a happy new year without headaches and all the best for 2017

Tina

Even though it's been a year since my stay at the Kiel Pain Clinic, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire clinic team once again. Prof. Göbel, my two treating doctors, the nurses, the physiotherapy staff, the sports therapists and, last but not least, the psychologists do an outstanding job.

Even though it's been a quarter of a year since my stay at the Kiel Pain Clinic, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire clinic team once again. Prof. Göbel, my two treating doctors, the nurses, the physiotherapy staff, the sports therapists and, last but not least, the psychologists do an outstanding job. The clinic works according to a scientifically supported overall concept, the latest research results are taken into account and also passed on or explained to patients. In contrast to other clinics, what is particularly noticeable is the patient-oriented tone, the approach is always extremely warm, and as a patient you feel welcomed in every respect. The stay gave me a lot of new insights and new treatment options were initiated. I am extremely grateful for that.

Dear pain clinic team!
Many thanks to all the doctors, therapists, nurses and staff at your clinic for the excellent care during my stay over the past few weeks.
I don't know of any clinic where I was treated with so much passion and competent help. Thank you for the great information and support, you are a great team! Thanks also to Bettina Frank for her overwhelming commitment to Headbook!

A great clinic that is a leader in its field of headache and migraine therapy. Very competent and scientifically oriented doctors who finally give many sufferers relief from their suffering. Very great staff who are all very empathetic and attentive, are there for every patient and always have an open ear. Thank you for the wonderful care that you can also receive there on an outpatient basis.

I was in the pain clinic in Kiel from September 27th to October 13th, 2016 because of clusters. First of all, a big thank you to the super nice physio team (especially Mr. Wichert) and to my doctor, Dr. Koch, the very nice nursing staff, and Prof. Göbel. It was a relaxing stay that helped me a lot with my knowledge of how I can now deal with my illness. The entire staff was always friendly, courteous and very nice. I would recommend KIEL to everyone - if you need a clinic because of pain

I was a patient for cluster headache in July and I wholeheartedly agree with all the many extremely positive reviews so far!
I've been feeling really well again for a long time since my stay. It's clear to me that the cluster headache can't be cured (yet), but I've been given ways and means to control it the crushing pain no longer affects me. Many, many thanks to Prof. Dr.
Göbel, to Dr. Freischmidt! Many thanks to the perfect care team, the great physio team (where my blocked SI joint was sorted out in no time at all), the psychologists, the extremely friendly ladies in administration, the kitchen team and not least the cleaning staff. IT CAN'T BE BETTER!
Kind regards,
Annemarie Linz

Dear Professor Göbel,
dear pain clinic team,
dear Bettina Frank,

I would like to thank you very much for the help that our son and I as a mother received from you during his hospital stay and for the support in the headbook.

For me, your clinic is characterized not only by its great competence, but also by its very appreciative, friendly and patient approach to patients.

Prof. Göbel was the only doctor to recognize our son's chronic migraines.
As a mother, I had many questions afterwards, all of which were answered calmly, as often as I needed them. Many thanks again, especially to Dr. Petersen. In the pain clinic I had the impression for the first time that my son as a patient and I as a mother were perceived as individual people and taken seriously as conversation partners. On this basis, we were able to approach the treatment of migraines with much more confidence.

Even after the hospital stay, in difficult phases, we always received competent and understanding advice, support and practical help quickly and reliably, either via the headbook, in the live chat with Prof. Göbel or in direct contact with the clinic. That was and is truly invaluable to us.
Here again a big thank you to Prof. Göbel and the moderator of the headbook, Bettina Frank..

Kind regards,
Lilly

I was a patient from April 19th to May 8th, 2016, I felt very well looked after and have never experienced such a personal and sensitive doctor/therapist -> patient relationship as in this clinic. You “slow down” and have the feeling that you return to your everyday life more productive and full of inspiration for your own quality of life. THANKS!

Dear pain clinic team, thank you for the nice farewell gift. It was a great time with and with you, I will miss you and wish you all the best. viola

Hello,
thank you very much for the very pleasant stay.
Your staff is very competent and friendly, keep it up! Many greetings to the entire team

Hello dear team,
I've been home for 2 weeks now and I'm really impressed!
I benefited so much from my time in the clinic that my life is now worth living again!
With a completely different approach, my pain was reduced to a significantly lower level!
I am so happy and grateful that I was accepted and could be helped!
I would like to thank EVERYONE at Kilink who contributed to this!
Above all, Professor Göbel and the entire team of doctors (including the outpatient clinic)
and the entire nursing team.
My thanks also go to my psychologist and the physio team.
I would also like to thank the ladies from the administration
and the kitchen, everyone who looked after and fed us!
But I would also like to thank the cleaning pearls and the lovely caretaker very much!
I would like to thank everyone for a great time in Kiel and for the lasting help!
I am grateful to continue to be in good contact with the clinic
and happy to have an appointment at the outpatient clinic in December!
I hope that all pain patients can be helped there like I was!
I wish the team that they continue to do and can do such wonderful work as before!
Kind regards, Nina

Dear team at the Kiel Pain Clinic,

Everyone really does their best here
and the patient is the focus.

My decision to choose Kiel
was probably the best one of my life!
I see a light at the end of the tunnel again!

I would like to say a big thank you to all employees
and personally to Dr. Peters & Mrs. Fuhrmann.

I was in the clinic in May 2014 and this allowed me to break my long suffering. While reading the forums and chats, I remembered the bad times that lie behind me. I could never have imagined living almost pain-free. Headaches and migraines accompanied me for 40 years and influenced my life and almost every decision. Through years of pain and taking topiramate, my physical and psychological condition had steadily worsened. Looking back, I realize that the time in Kiel was the turning point. I finally got concrete help and for the first time had the feeling that I was no longer helpless in the pain. I consistently pursue what I have learned. I still take vitamin B2, eat little sugar and make sure I get enough carbohydrates. Since our time in Kiel things have been continuously improving. A year ago I started psychotherapy. I no longer take topiramate because the harm was greater than the benefit. I started a vegetarian diet six months ago and wanted to try it out. The amazing “side effect” was that I haven’t had a migraine attack since. I no longer take triptans. If (very rarely) a headache occurs, you can get it under control with a common painkiller and plenty of rest. I pay more attention to doing something good for myself, I have started learning Spanish and sing in a choir. Liberation from pain brings back the lost joy of life. I could never have imagined writing these lines and would like to encourage everyone who is still suffering at the moment. The fear of the pain is still deep but I'm glad I haven't given up hope.

Hello, I was also at the clinic. Professor Göbel is really great and the whole team. I would recommend anyone who suffers from chronic migraines to visit the clinic. It helped me. Thanks again to the whole team, you are great.

Dear Prof. Göbel, dear team at the Kiel Pain Clinic,

My warmest thanks for allowing me to be with you again at the beginning of this year.

The advantages of your clinic are obvious to me – despite the long journey:

1) the clinic is specialized and therefore very personal
2) the head physician and medical team take a lot of time for each patient and respond to individual needs
3) the conversations with the psychologists greatly support the healing process
4) the nurses have a lot of experience and are the “ “Angels” who are always there for you
5) Sports and physiotherapy offer a pleasant change (the lymphatic drainage on the face is great!)
6) the administration and the chief medical office are very professional and always perfectly organized

Once again, I would like to thank you all very much and wish you all the best!

Yours, Oliver A.

I suffer from chronic migraines and was from March 26th.
until April 8, 2015 in the Kiel Pain Clinic. My doctor recommended that I stay in the hospital.
I didn't even want to go there. I was sure that I would feel worse if I dealt more with the disease migraines.
I already lose way too much time because of it.
And the only place I want to be when I'm feeling bad is at home - alone.
In retrospect, it was the best thing I've done to combat migraines in 20 years, and that wasn't a small thing.
In individual and group discussions and lectures you learn the connections between body, soul, behavior, nutrition and also how to deal with the disease and medication.
And almost most importantly for me, I learned that I really have to take time for it and for myself.
Ultimately, everyone has to find the right thing for themselves, as always.
And here you have many options and also the time to try them out.
During the 2 weeks I also had the worst migraine attacks but even then I was exactly in the right place.
I can really recommend the clinic and hope…

Many thanks again to everyone and also to my doctor, Ms. Dr.
Karhoff-Schroeder in Bonn-Lannesdorf. Irene Rode

And I should have packed the physiotherapist, Ms. Gaspary, with me on the way home!

Dear pain clinic team,
my life has changed completely since my stay in November 2013.
I learned a lot about the disease and, above all, I learned to live with it and not against it.
Especially since I've been treated, my life has become much more worth living and I've become much happier.
I especially thank you Dr.
Heinze, that you are trying so hard to help me. With success ! Kind regards and see you in June, Kim Boock

I went to the pain clinic in Kiel for the second time in February/March 2015.
When I arrived at the clinic, I was feeling very badly because I could hardly get out of my long migraine attacks. In addition, the migraines triggered my facial pain so much that I could hardly bear the pain anymore.

I would like to thank Professor Doctor Göbel from the bottom of my heart, who helped me with such great commitment.
My medication was optimally adjusted and I also received a lot of personal help. Professor Doctor Göbel is a doctor as one could only wish for. He is really interested in helping our patients and I had the impression that he was completely absorbed in his job. He answered every question and treated me optimally. God bless you!

My other doctor, Ms. Doctor Gatzert, was also so concerned about my well-being and was always there for me, my pain and my many questions as a competent doctor and contact person. She helped me a lot and I also felt like I was in good hands with her. Thank you !!

Doctor Petersen, the senior physician at the pain clinic, is also an angel in a doctor's coat with incredible commitment, very deep knowledge and can also convey it very well and understandably. Among other things, she conducts patient seminars on medication. I learned so much here. These seminars have helped me a lot. I would have preferred these seminars to take place every day, because you can't get such knowledge anywhere else.

My psychiatrist, Ms. Steinbrück, with whom I had my individual therapy sessions, gave me a lot of valuable food for thought along the way, helped me to find good solutions, gave me important addresses, books and practical tips and was also above and beyond the norm for me my problems there. She even came to my room more often when I was feeling bad.

It is unbelievable what I have seen in this clinic from the doctors, psychologists, the administration, both secretariats, the nurses, the physiotherapy team, the group therapy, and the biodeedback team without exception in terms of friendliness, competence, commitment and... Help was encountered. I can't even put it into words.

Also worth mentioning is the good cuisine, which takes into account allergies, intolerances and special requests such as vegetarian or vegan food. Even though I am lactose intolerant, I have always received very tasty food. Thanks so much.

What is also worth mentioning is that I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the entire clinic was and how thoroughly the cleaning staff cleaned the room and bathroom. Other hospitals and clinics could learn a lesson from this.

I would also like to thank physiotherapy very much. The range of sports, relaxation techniques and manual therapy are also an important part of learning relaxation techniques and the massage also helped me to relax the muscles that were very hard due to the pain. I would particularly like to emphasize Ms. Dose's commitment here, as she was also able to give me valuable help with posture and gait. In addition to my migraines and facial pain, I unfortunately also suffer from many orthopedic problems, including many arthroses. Among other things, the arthrosis of the big toe causes me very painful problems when walking, so that I walk completely crooked and I have probably developed other arthroses as a result. Ms. Dose explained to me how I can move more easily in a way that is gentle on my joints and in the correct posture, and with less pain. Thank you so much for this above-average effort and for this pleasant sense of humor.

A huge thank you to the entire team at the pain clinic because everyone took such great care of me. I felt very protected, understood and received a lot of help regarding my pain and concerns.

Your house - your employees - are a blessing for us pain patients. For this reason, I drive more than 600 km to you to receive further outpatient treatment, because I have never found so much competence, knowledge and kindness in this form anywhere else.

The entire team in Kiel is a blessing for all cluster patients.
Pure competence and you finally feel understood! Thanks to the entire team

Doctors work here who not only studied textbooks during their medical studies, but also love their job. Thank you very much for the good treatment

Dear clinical team,

I have been in the pain clinic since December 23, 2014 and would like to thank everyone involved for their time here.
As already described in the other comments, you can only confirm the positive experiences and actually only understand all of this when you are here. The holistic care begins with the reception and does not stop with the listening, because it is really the case that every employee here gives you the feeling of being “welcome” and also shows concern and care Having to be here for the holidays can be felt in many loving details.
It's great to be able to experience that the individual treatment and setting of new medications is carried out in consultation with the patient.
The information about each individual treatment step is comprehensible at any time and the day-specific activities relating to the psyche and the physical body give courage, strength and endurance to be well prepared in the future as the disease progresses. Personally, it gave me a lot of courage to realize that there is still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to medication for cluster headaches and that the medication therapy is far from exhausted.
But everyone must also recognize that an optimal course of the 14 days can only be achieved if they are willing to be active themselves and actively participate in the treatment plan, because without this willingness, success will not happen from heaven.
I would like to thank Romina, Petra, Aischa, Tinchen, Antje, Svea and Caro very much, because without you we wouldn't have had so much to laugh about. You were all a great support and especially Romina.

Many greetings,
Stefan

Dear clinic staff,

My neurologist made me aware of your homepage!
I have been a migraine sufferer for 40 years and thought I was well informed! Thank you for your comprehensive, insightful and understandable information! However, I would like to point out one thing: When it comes to possible migraine medication, I read that you also recommend MCP drops. Unfortunately, this medication has been withdrawn from the market and is now only available in tablet form. You probably already knew about it and forgot to remove it from the homepage.

Kind regards,
Tanja Tamm

Dear pain clinic team!

I would also like to say thank you for a valuable time in your home. From the first moment I felt warmly and friendly welcomed. My room with the wonderful view of the Schwentine has put me in the holiday mood many a time. The clinic is well organized, the seminars and patient training are very interesting, the whole team deserves high praise, you feel cared for and taken seriously. The doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists, administrators, cleaners and kitchen staff treat you very kindly, the food was so delicious, I would have liked to stay longer!

Although I was unfortunately only able to experience a few pain-free days, the time was very good for me, I was able to recharge my batteries and my greatest wish was fulfilled: I left the clinic without a headache, that was a great feeling.

Thank you for a wonderful time, which I see as a path to a new life!

Anja Vogt

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Petersen and Prof. Dr.
Thank you Göbel for the great treatment during my visit. I really enjoyed my time in her clinic and will highly recommend her. Verena Heller

Dear “Pain Clinic Team”,

I was with you in 2007 and 2009 and would like to thank you again today for your loving care and support.
Staying with you was the first step on the long journey of “making friends” with my migraines.
I learned a lot about the disease and about myself. at home , which helped me a lot.
My therapist here at home also continued the treatment very well – and still does so today.
But the most important thing is – I'm feeling good today.
I still have migraines - sometimes more, sometimes less - but I know how to deal with them. I relax every day and take my time out every day. I also notice when I don't get these breaks.
I know that I have limits, but within these limits I can achieve a lot - with appropriate time off.

I still get annoyed by people who reduce me to my illness.
But on the other hand, people should just accept me as I am – with a migraine.
It's a part of me - but no longer the main part.
I now enjoy each day as it comes. When I have pain/migraine I still try to enjoy the day and make the most of it and distract myself.
Sometimes it doesn't work anymore and then I have to take tablets - but I try to do that as little as possible. I no longer want to let migraines dictate my life.

It was a long way from being able to think and live like this today.
And you showed me the first steps. Thank you again for that. Go on like that…

Best regards,

Anja Riedel

Dear clinic team,

I could cry with happiness because I was recommended your wonderful link by a friend!!!
My son is 14 years old and has suffered over 20 migraine attacks with aura and all complete symptoms in the last year. During the last Christmas holidays there were three attacks in one week. We have now found the right medication.
We also try acupuncture and deep relaxation. A lot of the information and explanations are still new to us and it is so valuable that we have your explanations, that we now know the latest research and can counter the many advice “blows” in everyday life with specialist knowledge.
Reading your pages has strengthened us greatly! Thank you so much!

Hello dear clinic team!
First of all, I would like to thank you all very much for your care.
My big thanks go to Dr. Petersen and Prof. Dr. Göbel. I came to you in May 2013 with the diagnosis of “trigeminal neuralgia”. After my previous doctors had treated me with an incorrect diagnosis for three agonizing years and unfortunately were unable to identify my correct diagnosis, I was very grateful to you for being able to correctly interpret my symptoms and for taking me seriously. Thanks to your new diagnosis of “cluster headache”, I was able to experience a second spring in my life. I would like to thank you again for that.

Hello dear team at the Kiel Pain Clinic.
Thank you very much for the 13 days I was allowed to be in your clinic.
I learned a lot about cluster headaches and now I know how to deal with the pain and attacks better. I still have my attacks, but not as often anymore. I hope it gets better every day. I can highly recommend this clinic to everyone because here you are not a number, but a patient, and you will be helped.
I greet the entire
Ursula Schulze

Hello dear team at the Kiel Pain Clinic.
I was in the clinic in May 2013 and was very positively surprised, not pain-free, but fewer attacks.
Learned a lot about pain. Thanks!

Dear clinic team,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team again for their competent and friendly support.
Everyone was always nice and always had an open ear. Finally someone listened and took me seriously. I learned a lot about migraines and how I can help myself a little. 8 weeks without triptans is quite something. I hope it continues like this. Of course the migraines haven't gone away (unfortunately), but the number of attacks has decreased and with the background knowledge, some things are easier to bear. I can only recommend a stay here to every migraine sufferer. It really brought a lot of things, not a cure, but an improvement and a lot of insights.

Kind regards,
Gabi Förster

I really enjoyed my stay with you. The friendly staff and competent doctors ensured that I was finally able to travel pain-free again. Thanks again!

Dear clinical team,

First of all, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a good, healthy and continued successful New Year.

I've been here since December 22nd. back home and would like to thank you all very much for the great, loving, warm-hearted and competent support that I received during my stay in the clinic. The 2 weeks have been very good for me, I have gained distance from everything and with the helpful tips and knowledge from the seminars and discussions I am well equipped for everyday life and confident that I can reduce the migraines or perceive them differently ( This became apparent in the first two days at home - thank you for relaxation training!).

It was a great feeling to be among people who understood you during an attack without long explanations because they themselves know how you feel. Although I experience a comparatively great deal of understanding in those around me, when I interact with other migraine sufferers and with all of you, dear clinical team, this understanding increases many times over and of course, last but not least, help is always there when needed.

Once again a big THANK YOU!
Warm greetings from Bonn
Michaela Herzog

ONS

Hello,
I would like to introduce you to my experiences with occipital nerve stimulation (ONS).
I have suffered from migraines since I was 14 years old (I'm now 48).
In 2005 I was in the Königstein headache clinic, detoxification, Mayr diet etc., in 2009 in the Berolina clinic in Bad Oeynhausen and in 2011 in the Flachsheide clinic in Bad Salzuflen.
Since 2006, I have had a severe disability of 50 percent recognized by the pension office because of migraines.
I have changed my duty (police shift duty) and have not been on night shift since 2005 and since April this year I have not been on late shift either because migraine sufferers need a regular daily routine.
Unfortunately nothing helped me and I continued to have migraines and tension headaches for at least 15 days/month.
In September I had surgery (ONS).
In the first 4 weeks I didn't feel any improvement and was quite frustrated. The doctors had told me beforehand that it could take 1-3 months for the body to adjust, but you don't believe that and you want a sense of success straight away. After about 4.5 weeks the migraines started to stop happening.
I'm not pain-free, but I have much milder attacks and only had to use triptans 4 times in October! I am thrilled with the results of the surgery.
Now after a good 8 weeks I'm feeling significantly better. My quality of life has increased enormously. I would like to encourage everyone who has already tried everything.
For further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
LG Tina

Hello dear team from the pain clinic,

Tomorrow the time has come and I'm traveling a second time. A strange feeling accompanies me. I'm looking forward to putting myself back in the hands of the fantastic team at the clinic, but on the other hand I know that it won't be easy for me. I'm happy that I only have to worry about MYSELF and am among like-minded people without much explanation. And I'm happy that I can deepen what I learned in this clinic two years ago and maybe learn something new. I particularly remember the picture “The Clown and the Parrot” with Ms. Fromm's philosophy that the patients in the clinic should feel as carefully looked after as the clown holds the parrot.

I greet the pain clinic team and say goodbye until tomorrow.

Your Liane Hößler

Dear Prof. Dr.
Göbel, dear team at the Kiel Pain Clinic, I would like to thank you in advance for the inpatient treatment and very nice time and, above all, the option to continue to contact you or your team as pain therapists!

I spent two unforgettable weeks in the Kiel pain clinic in July and August... and after the first few days I had the feeling that I had finally
found the "protective roof" after years of "standing in the rain".
I can't remember how many doctors and therapists I've been to who
ended up shrugging their shoulders. In December 2011 I was treated in a manual therapy clinic for three weeks and I already felt like I was in good hands there, but the Kiel Pain Clinic and its doctors and therapists turned things around for me.

It's not as if I've been completely pain-free since my stay in the hospital; it's more that
my relationship with my headaches has changed. So far my fear of the pain has been my biggest enemy, and as soon as it started I felt powerless. This pressure has eased significantly since I knew that the medical team existed in Kiel.

I have rarely experienced so much commitment, competence and dedication as in this clinic.

to give
the patient, in addition to the precise
to influence their pain
endurance sports,
physiotherapy,
behavioral therapy,
relaxation techniques and nutrition but rather to turn “me – the patient” into my expert to cause your own pain.
To illustrate what happens when you have a migraine and how the different medications work...

At this point I would like to thank Dr.
Thank Petersen. I found her patient seminars very lively and she took time to answer questions or something half-understood, even at a late hour. Many thanks also to Ms. Nielson - even though it was only 2-3 hours, I still took a few crucial sentences home with me.
THANKS to my ward doctor, Dr. Vayni who was ALWAYS the contact person for me. AND a very special thank you to the lovely sports therapist Ms. Dose.
She “incidentally” opened my eyes, and brief impulses for thought became key experiences. It was more than just sport or Qi Gong :-) Thanks to Mr. Wichert, all the sisters, the administration ladies and of course Ms. Fromm, who is always kind and helpful.

In the Kiel Pain Clinic, “people” work together in a coherent concept in a heartwarming, friendly atmosphere.
THANKS to everyone – I felt more than comfortable!!!
Kerstin Plöger

Dear pain clinic team,
I can only report positive things. I liked it very well. The room, as well as the food and the treatments were excellent. Continued success!

Dear hospital team, dear potential patients,

A few months ago I wrote a post about the Kiel Pain Clinic under “End of Clinic Review” and I think it should also be in the pain clinic’s guest book (see below).
My consistently positive experiences are reinforced by the continued competent outpatient care, which I have received approximately quarterly since my stay in the clinic (Nov. - Dec. 2011).
If problems with medication or questions arose in between, I could always clarify them by phone or email. Medical care couldn't be better! I still suffer from migraines, but there has been a significant improvement and with it I have regained my zest and joy for life. I can't thank the pain clinic team enough! Here is my still valid report:

Overall satisfaction: very satisfied
Quality of advice: very satisfied
Medical treatment: very satisfied
Administration and processes: very satisfied (outstandingly exemplary)
Recommend: yes
Year of treatment: 2011 (Nov. - Dec.)
Experience report:
very professional and efficiently working staff, from Kitchen staff, cleaning staff, nurses, psychologists, secretaries and medical team - and so incredibly warm-hearted, understanding and with a large time budget and a lot of patience and empathy for all patients.
It seemed to me that every single person who worked there was hand-picked. The atmosphere in the clinic is familiar and warm, the rooms are functional and friendly (I had one with a view of the east bank harbor and almost felt like it was a holiday present); The meals are tasty, balanced and there is a decent selection at the breakfast and dinner buffets and at the salad bar at lunchtime. Although I thought I already knew everything about pain, especially migraines, I learned an incredible amount from numerous patient training courses given by doctors and psychologists. A selection of physiotherapy + physical therapy and sports therapy is offered - there too: great staff who respond to the individual strengths and weaknesses of patients. Psychologists also practice relaxation exercises with patients and offer pain management training lasting several days. There are also behavioral health patient training courses. You are encouraged to take part - but great care is also taken to ensure that you do not exceed your limits. But what I liked most was how much time and patience the doctors took to discuss the therapy with you in such a way that you could understand the individual steps even as a layperson (the most important things are in written form), and that I will continue to be cared for on an outpatient basis even after my inpatient stay and will receive comprehensible answers when I contact the pain clinic with questions by phone or email. The therapy is working and I would like to thank the wonderful pain clinic team from the bottom of my heart for everything: they provide an invaluable service to people suffering from pain!

Headache days per month from 30 to 3 - a wonderful new attitude to life
Like many other headache patients, I looked for an effective therapy for a long time and didn't even notice how I was "preserving" my headaches by taking so many painkillers.
In Kiel I was able to take a break from painkillers 3 months ago. The abortion headache was severe but bearable with the professional support of the pain clinic team. In Kiel I learned a lot about my pain and ways to cope with it and experienced pleasant personal attention and warmth. At home and at work, the therapists' suggestions have proven to be very suitable for everyday use, even in stressful situations. My headaches haven't gone away, but they have changed, they stop after a few hours even without medication. This is a great experience! A big thank you to the entire team at the Kiel Pain Clinic!

With transparency, education and information, the Kiel Pain Clinic supports us migraine patients on our way back to independent well-being.
In particular, the offer of taking part in an interdisciplinary pain conference, being able to ask questions directly to the experts and being able to follow specialist discussions creates transparency in dealing with migraines and thus enables a change of perspective.
My special thanks go to Prof. Göbel, who always works tirelessly for everything related to migraines and makes events like this possible.
My thanks also go to the lecturer Prof. Herdegen, whose lecture gave me a new perspective on painkillers in connection with their intake, side effects and effectiveness. Kind regards,
Doro

Hello everyone,
I was with you in the clinic last month and would like to thank you very much for what you did for me!!!
I now have less pain than before and feel much better now!!!

You are all doing a very good job and I hope others find it as much as I do!!!

Thank you again to all
your Schnuckky

Have a nice day in Kiel.
I would like to take this opportunity to warmly thank the entire team at the Pain Clinic, Kiel, especially Mr. Porf.
Göbel, Ms. Dr. Rebesci, Ms. Dr. Petersen, Ms. Idel, and especially Mr. Wiechert. Everyone gave me a lot of support during my stay in the clinic in finding my way with the pain.
In my 25 years of migraine history, I have never known a place where so much good was done for me. We worked on the right concept with competence, empathy and perseverance. The focus is on people and their illness, which brings with it appreciation and trust. On such an extremely good basis, the treatments and medications can thrive particularly well and lead to valuable success. Thank you again for this
with kind regards

Kind regards to Kiel,

From February 16, 2012 to February 29, 2012 I was in the Kiel pain clinic. My treating doctor was Dr. Müller, who looked after me very competently. Thank you Dr. Müller!!!

Overall, the entire team (nurses, doctors, psychologists, physios, etc.) was very friendly and approachable at any time. The entire staff does a great job and you just feel like you're in good hands.

LG to Kiel

Ralph

From November 15th to 29th I was at the Kiel Pain Clinic.
I felt very well looked after in the clinic. This began with arranging an appointment before my stay, in which my professional and private concerns were taken into account, and continued with arrival and admission, with the sisters, who were always open to questions and requests, and with the sports and physiotherapists , the kitchen staff and the cleaning staff. I would especially like to thank my ward doctor, Ms. Breßler, who I'm sure doesn't even know how her sentence: "I'll think about something..." helped me through what was at times a difficult time for me during the medication break. I would also have liked to take Mr. Baldeus from physiotherapy home with me... For me it was the best decision this year to go to the pain clinic in Kiel, of course you can't expect miracles, but it's a step on the right path .

Thank you very much for your time in Kiel, even though I hope we don't see each other again...

I was in the Kiel pain clinic from December 1st, 2010 to December 15th, 2010.
That was exactly a year ago now. It was a wonderful time for me. I was very afraid to start this journey.
I have had migraines for more than 30 years and my doctor gave me the tip with Kiel and I had to work hard to take this step. The doctors and all the staff make you feel welcome. You can let go and relax .You feel like you're in your mother's womb.
To be properly informed professionally and to learn to understand what is happening in the head and body,
to learn what relaxation techniques can have a big impact when practiced in a targeted manner. The correct dosage of medication and regular endurance sports really help.
All of this is conveyed wonderfully in the clinic. You need this time out in the clinic to understand. For me, this time was a gift. At this point I would like to thank you again
and wish the entire clinic team a nice Advent season.
Many greetings at this point also to my nice table neighbor Bettina from Tourboesser (Bienchen).

My hospital stay in the pain clinic in Kiel from August 9th, 2011 to August 23rd, 2011 was a while ago.
I have suffered from migraines for about 40 years now.
I've tried a lot of things to get the migraines under control. However, the decisive success did not materialize. Meanwhile I had to take painkillers every day. The medication Cafergot suppositories, which I had been using for many years, was no longer available in Germany. I couldn't cope with other medications. In my distress, I researched on the Internet and became aware of the pain clinic in Kiel. After intensive research, I realized this is where I have to go.
Finally the time had come and I was admitted to hospital in Kiel. As soon as I was admitted, I had a positive impression and this continued constantly, with the ward doctor, the senior doctor and the nurses. In this pain clinic I had the feeling of being a patient and not just another number. I didn't expect the holistic care with such an excellent concept. Requests and questions were responded to immediately. The first few days in the clinic were painful as no painkillers were given. After about 5-6 days things started to improve. So far I haven't needed any more painkillers. If I had found this route earlier, I would have saved a lot.

I would like to thank the entire team for their good support.
My ward doctor, Dr. Ribeski, took excellent care of me and gave me every possible help.
A special compliment to Prof. Dr. Göbel. What you have created is unique. Continued success.

I can highly recommend the pain clinic in Kiel!

Kind regards from the Eifel

Gisela Richards

Hello everyone in Kiel,
from June 29th, 2011 to July 15th, 2011 I was in the pain clinic in Kiel because of a cluster headache.
Because I had very big problems with my headaches and those around me had separated from me because they didn't know what it was... clouster headache.
The working atmosphere got worse and my partner then broke up with me... then the day came when my doctor suggested to me... go to Kiel. mmmmmmmmm
what can I say... that was it best for me and therefore a very big compliment to all the employees at the pain clinic in Kiel.
I would also like to give a big shout out to my ward doctor Dr. Tomforde….
who kept his promise and sent me another artest. To all the people who read this letter….. contact your doctor and have them send you to Kiel….
top clinic... Great specialists, everything is just right here. Thank you, thank you, thank you…… kind regards, Volker

Dear pain clinic team,

I was with you as a patient from April 18, 2011 - April 29, 2011.
From day one I was welcomed very well and everything was explained to me. I wanted to thank you very much again because I'm feeling much better. For many years I have suffered from tension headaches, which occurred almost daily. I've now had several days without a headache and I feel like I've been reborn. The new medication makes me feel a lot better! I also had a roommate with whom I got along very well straight away, as well as the people sitting next to me at the table.
It was a very nice and fun time with you. Thanks! =) I would like to thank the entire team, as the nurses, doctors, psychologists and also the administrative staff were there for me at all times. They were friendly at all times and always came to me with a smile on their face =)

Thank you very much for your entire stay in the pain clinic! =)

Best regards,

Yvonne Lübker

Now I would like to say something about this clinic.
I was hospitalized from January 5th to January 19th, 2011.
At first I was a bit worried and didn't know exactly what to expect, but in the end I can say that it was extremely worth it for me. You learn a lot about the problem of “headaches” and, above all, you are not alone. The patient seminars are very helpful, especially the seminars by OA Dr. Heinz. I was also very lucky with my roommate and that I was in the clinic with some really great people at the time.
Our table in the dining room was really great. I would like to contact Dr. again in this way.
Sauer, Ms. Idel, Ms. Glück and all the sisters. In this clinic you are actually still a patient. And I come from the healthcare sector, which is unfortunately no longer a given these days. Of course, a big thank you also goes to Mr. Wichert.
Unfortunately you can't book it :-) I can only warmly recommend this clinic!!!
Thanks.

I am a chronic cluster patient and really enjoyed the time between December 29th, 2010 and January 12th, 2011.
All employees, from the cleaning lady to Mr. Prof. Dr. Göbel, always nice and courteous. Every “reasonable” question or request was responded to promptly and acted upon to my complete satisfaction. Thanks for that!
I had two pain-free days in the clinic for the first time in seven months.
This can certainly be attributed to the new medication, but the good food, the very educational seminars, the beautiful surroundings by the water and much more certainly played their part. Thank you thank you.

Dear “guests”, dear clinic team,
these are very encouraging comments.
So: Kiel stationary for two weeks. I'll remember it for the future. First of all, my thanks to the boss for the “mental relaxation”, which works wonders for me. Thank you also for this great website, which even takes into account the taxi fare from the train station to the clinic, and happy pain-free holidays to everyone! With warm Christmas greetings
Claudia Schülke

Dear pain clinic team,
it has now been almost 6 months (June 16, 2010) since I came to your pain clinic. Until then, I took
triptans every day because I had constant migraines. The success of the treatment is really huge.
I have used 4 aspirin since June (I counted exactly). Every now and then I get a slight
headache when there are extreme weather changes, but you can no longer call it a migraine.
I have implemented the behavioral roadmap as best as possible and am very
confident about the future.
The joy of life is back. That's why I would like to thank the entire team for the successful stay.
I felt very comfortable with you.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Kind regards,
Alexa Koske

Before I came to Kiel I had lost all hope of finding doctors in the world.
Treatment: Dr. Petersen. So I would like to say a lot of praise to you. If you were to open your own practice, I would be your patient immediately, as she was always very compassionate and tried new treatment options with me after my long period of suffering! :)Thanks for that! Dr.
Heinze's lectures on diabetes types I and II will probably always be remembered, as is a very competent and funny guy. The sports therapists Katja Glück and Diana Dose also worked really well here and we often had personal contact with them.
I've never gotten such good tips from sports therapists anywhere else. They always had helpful tips on the specific case of the pain disorder and also took time individually for each patient in the exercise groups.
The time there was extremely helpful for me, even though I thought that my pain after the operation was too special. My pain hasn't gone away, but it's much easier to bear with the new medication... Tobias
L.

So, now I would like to add my two cents here. :)

Before I came to Kiel, I had lost all trust in doctors.
I was now of the opinion that there was no smart doctor left in this world.
:) So... now I met Dr.
Golunski. He showed me, without knowing what I was thinking,
how wrong I was in my opinion.
Such a wonderful doctor and person,
how lucky I was that he was my treating doctor.

He doesn't do his "work" because it's his job,
he loves it from the bottom of his heart, that can be seen without a doubt.

Thank you Dr. Golunski…for everything.

At the end of the treatment you asked me
what I would have benefited from the most here.
I told you, and this is completely my opinion:
from you. :)

I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart.

May all your wishes come true
and always remain who you are today. ;)

Kind regards,
Martina M.

This was my first CK visit to Kiel and my expectations have been far exceeded in the past 2 weeks. I didn't expect so much care and kindness. Many thanks again to the entire team.

A big thank you to the entire team at the pain clinic!

After my 2 weeks during the Easter holidays this year, thanks to your tips and help, I was able to successfully complete my secondary school leaving certificate and am now facing my professional future with an appropriate certificate.

Many greetings from North Frisia,
Lars Pagallies

Hello.
From July 24th I have hope again that someone can help me get the pain that I suffered from an accident 38 years ago under control. I hope that I can get some help there, since I've already been in several places, and I couldn't be helped. Well, now I'm excited and hope that my pain will end at some point.
Many kind regards from the Moselle

Dear clinic team!

My time with you was incredibly good for me,
I enjoyed it and would like to thank everyone again!!
Both humanly and therapeutically and medically,
especially through the gentle and thorough care of Dr.
Petersen, I felt like I was in good hands from day one!
My severe migraines and constant daily pain have been significantly reduced thanks to the withdrawal of painkillers,
the new medication adjustment and a lot of learning.
After the last few difficult years, I finally have a better quality of life, joy and courage again!
So I wish many more people who find themselves in a similar, desperate situation
that they get a place in this great clinic as soon as possible!

With kind regards,
Kristina Katz Bärlocher

Hello, to the entire pain clinic team,

I wanted to thank you again for the great care.
I was with you from May 10th to May 23rd, 2010 and I learned a lot from you.
The stay with you was really great and I'm really feeling much
better than before.

I have rarely met such competent and caring doctors and nurses.

Thank you very much for that..

Warm greetings from Flensburg from Anja Hansen

Thank you again for the stay in the great clinic!

I was at the Maritim station until last Wednesday and felt completely comfortable, well looked after and almost had the feeling of being on holiday or undergoing a wellness treatment. Just the moment at 6:00 a.m. with a view of the sunrise over the Schwentine and with the delicious coffee made by the sisters – wonderful!!
Today I reached the 22nd day without triptans and am totally optimistic that it will continue like this. I continue to enjoy my warm oatmeal soup in the morning, lots of bananas in between and my relaxation CD. Next week I'm going to Qi Gong for the first time and discovered through Ms. Dose that it's a great sport for me! Thank you for that!! Also many thanks to the very lovely sisters, Dr. Stinner and Dr. Petersen for the good medical care and the drug withdrawal that was really easy to endure and, for the third time, Dr. Arnold for the good discussions and tips on coping with pain. ...and of course many greetings to the greatest fellow patients you could wish for - Sabine, Sven, Jutta, Alex and our adorable little girl Hanna!

Ilka Frankenstein

Dear team at the Kiel Pain Clinic,

My name is Gisela Winkler and I read these thank you letters with a lot of hope.
I'm about to be admitted to your clinic - which of course fills me with a bit of fear.
However, it is the last option because I have had a long journey of suffering and have absolutely no quality of life left. Suffering from daily headaches for years - despite having to or wanting to function - you end up in a vicious circle from which you can no longer find a way out.
Now my greatest wish is that my stay will work out and that I can perhaps lead an almost 'normal' life again.
Thanks to everyone who wrote a post here. It gives me courage and I will look forward to my stay in the hospital with a slightly better feeling.

Very best regards

Gisela Winkler

Dear Prof. Göbel,
I had my first stay in the pain clinic in 2000 and have been an outpatient with them ever since.
During my stay in the hospital, I learned that exercise, regular nutrition, relaxation and setting limits (I still find it difficult) and the medication adjustment have brought me out of the fearful pain spiral and allow me to have a better quality of life today. Your very competent and sensitive outpatient care also enabled me to have migraines recognized as a severe disability, so that I can continue to practice my job with commitment through certain relief and consideration.
I have felt that they have given me very good medical support and care for years.
I would like to thank you very much in this way and can and will happily recommend you and your clinic to others at any time. Telse Maas-Schleissmann

Dear Prof. Dr.
Göbel, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for your therapeutic support.
Since I went to your pain clinic a few years ago and was well controlled with medication, my severe sciatica pain on both sides has been reduced to such an extent that I can easily distract myself from it and have a quality of life again.
Since then I have been able to be there for my family again and have been working again. To this day, I enjoy your competent support in outpatient consultations to ensure that it stays that way. Kind regards from Frauke Schümann

Hello dear team at the pain clinic in Kiel,

I have to say that the 2 weeks of stay did me a lot of good.
I still learned a lot during this time.
Since then I have been more careful with myself and sometimes say “no”!!
I can usually easily integrate the exercises I have learned into my everyday life.
My colleagues, doctors and family think that I have changed positively.
I can only recommend that anyone with pain ask their doctors to admit them to the clinic.

Kind regards,
Doris Mertin-Hertrampf

Dear pain clinic team, dear Professor Goebel.
My stay in your clinic was very good for me. In the 14 days I learned a lot about my illness, migraines.
She has been loyal to me for 50 years and has often made my life very difficult. Now I have learned to deal with myself and my migraines differently. Many of my friends think I have changed positively and I have informed my treating doctors and physiotherapists intensively about the clinic's excellent concept. I wish that some treating doctors would find out a little more about migraines and their treatment before they continue to provide inadequate care to many patients with unqualified comments and forms of treatment for years. I would like to thank you and your team for the excellent care. I even thank my friends raved about the clinic in Tuscany and wished the concept would reach there too. Ellen Dreyer

Dear Prof. Dr. Göbel, team from the Kiel Pain Clinic,

In April 2009 I visited your clinic as an inpatient (diagnosis: migraine with aura).
I would now like to thank you for your immense commitment. For your part, a lot of knowledge-relevant information was passed on to me, which explained to me the actual background of migraines.
A huge compliment and thank you to the physiotherapist who treated me. She worked real miracles. So I was able to experience almost the entire stay almost pain-free. Also the med. Intervention by Dr. Henkel in the context of my only, real and worst migraine attack is highly recognized. Unfortunately, I didn't remain pain-free.
However, the attacks have reduced significantly. I can use the relaxation procedures offered (the “mental deep relaxation” that works for me) to provide support. And this is a big plus. Hoping for a truly effective remedy soon, I remain grateful and wish the entire clinical team continued success in every area.

Kind regards,
Silke Ritter

Another small addendum from me - after all, I didn't just want to make a comment about your new homepage.

I would like to thank the entire team for their competent and loving care, both during my two inpatient and outpatient stays in your clinic. After a long period of suffering, I came to the pain clinic and my life was literally given back to me.

My two children (outpatients) are now also on the right track.

The competence, friendliness and pleasant atmosphere are probably unique and particularly help you to recover well and become healthy.

Bettina Frank sends you all greetings from the south

I just looked at the new layout of https:// pain clinic.de after hearing about the innovations here at Stanford University, CA.
– I think as a patient you really want nothing more than clear, serious and professional information about your own illness. I particularly like the media library, I've never seen that at any clinic before. Here in California we already have summer weather, work at the university is very interesting - only the prices for German bread and German chocolate give me a headache, but I'm afraid that CGRP antagonists won't help me either, only switching to American ones Toast. Many kind regards to Kiel.

Hello dear team at the Kiel Pain Clinic,

Thank you very much for the lovely 2 weeks at the beginning of January. It was good for me to meet patients who had exactly the same problems as me. The seminars with Dr. Heinze were brilliant.

Greetings from the south.
Bernd Seiter

Thanks to the entire team for the pleasant stay in the clinic and the competent care.

Since my stay with you at the beginning of July, I have been happy and healthy. Until then, I had up to 15 migraine attacks a month. For me, I see the following measures as crucial: 1. withdrawal from medication (no more acute medication has been taken to date) 2. daily exercise (jogging and fitness training) 3. drinking 3-4 liters of completely still water 4. wholesome nutrition (no wheat flour, no extra sugar e.g. in coffee, no sweeteners, sweets only in homeopathic doses, no alcohol (never drunk before), no nicotine (never smoked before), unprocessed foods if possible - i.e. freshly cooked 5. a tricyclic antidepressant in a low dose at night (since I've been sleeping me deeply and firmly, like in my childhood) 6. targeted relaxation procedures: meditation, muscle relaxation according to Jacobson and yoga are my favorites 7. regularity in all things in life: eating, drinking, breaks, sport, relaxation, sleeping!!!!!! !!!!! My basic attitude has changed. Up to now I have often felt betrayed and punished by life. Today I am aware of how important it is for me personally to enjoy life, take care of myself and set clear boundaries .

Oliver Geck wishes you a nice time

PS: “Much more” success for everyone involved!!!

Dear team at the Kiel Pain Clinic,

A year ago at this time I spent 17 days in the clinic with you. At first I was skeptical about the success of my treatment. With my pain, I had already exhausted all outpatient options for medical help. But I should feel better soon with you. After stopping the pain medication, which I was taking three times a day at the time, I slowly started to feel better. The psychotherapy, the lectures on the subject of pain, the progressive muscle relaxation, conversations with fellow patients and much more also contributed to me finding a completely different attitude to life. Live stress-free! - is now my motto. Saying no is very important to me! And, enjoy life without medication. I have been pain-free since spring 2008 - without medication!!! I spent a good time with you and wish everyone who suffers from pain finds their way to you. THANKS!!! again to the entire team.

Kind regards, Britta Hoock

Dear pain clinic team,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for the lovely stay at the Kiel Pain Clinic. I really liked it. I'll be back soon, of course, just to visit.

So see you soon and best wishes to everyone. Because I like to think back to everyone at the pain clinic. Kind regards Caroline

To all employees of the pain clinic, I will come to you on Wednesday, April 16, 2008. I've had these stupid headaches regularly for 20 years now, once a week, 52x in a year, 520x in 10 years and over 1000x headaches in 20 years so far, no prospects in life, retired at 35 years old, no friends let alone girlfriend, Nothing works, even though I have great potential, I at least notice that once every two weeks I feel good for one day and the world is fine, but then that quickly changes again as ordered. I've been to many clinics, nobody knows where the pain comes from, and I've never seen anyone who has problems like mine. I really hope that you can still give my life meaning.

Greetings Ralf Pätsch

Dear Prof. Göbel, dear pain clinic team,

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your stay in the clinic. Like so many before me, I can say that the quality of life has improved many times over as a result of my stay in the clinic. I can trust my body and, above all, my head again. I am motivated to change my life and implement what I have learned as best as possible. Many thanks to the sisters, Dr. Vayni and Mrs. Dr. Lutz.

Greetings from Bavaria!!
Claudia Boxleitner

Nothing better could happen to me than coming to the pain clinic. In 17 days I was given a completely new attitude to life. After decades of migraines and tension headaches and taking 4 to 10 painkillers daily, I am pain-free, and without painkillers. I thank you all for taking the pain-stricken people who come to you for help seriously; For you, it's not about ripping off patients, as is the case with many other human doctors, but rather about real, humane help for those in need. At some point I'll definitely feel normal, but every day still seems like a miracle. Thank you very much, dear pain management team.

Dear Doctor Tappmeyer and team,

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for your good and intensive care, from which I benefited greatly. Although the first two weeks after my return were accompanied by pain, I have been feeling quite well again for about two weeks I can also say that I have only taken pain medication on five days this month, i.e. only half as often as before. I face my surroundings with more self-confidence when it comes to my illness, which is the most important learning effect for me. I owe this above all to you, Doctor Tappmeyer. By the way, my pain therapist, Doctor Horlemann, also worked at the Kiel Pain Clinic - so I will always maintain a connection with you.

Many thanks again to the clinic staff, to Ms. Sikora and her dentist, Doctor Diercks, who I was also able to get to know well enough :)

Dear pain clinic team,

I was with you in 2000 and am still migraine-free. The things that were given to me there still accompany me today. Be it the psychological support or all the other applications, nothing has been forgotten, even though I now lead an (almost) completely normal life again. The only horror is tension pain, but it is limited and has its own rhythm that I can deal with well. I would like to thank you very much again!!!

Without you I probably wouldn't be where I am today! A happy person with both feet firmly planted in life!

Dear pain clinic team,

I was with you for 3 weeks in June and it was a complete success! Since I've been home (6 weeks) I've been feeling very well, no migraines, no headaches. Previously almost weekly, approx. 8 days a month. I felt very comfortable with you. If you didn't have any pain, it was almost like being on vacation. :) The staff was also first class, Sister Susanne's warm laugh, Dr. Heinze, the soothing massages, I think back to them often. I wouldn't have been able to do it alone. I've picked up a lot and am putting it into practice; without it I certainly wouldn't be doing so well.

Here again a big thank you to everyone, especially to Dr. Brother-in-law and wife Dr. Bohm!

Ms. Günther from Dresden

Dear Prof. Göbel, dear clinic team,

I would like to take my last day in the clinic as an opportunity to say a big thank you to all of you for the good professional and human support. The treatment here has given me new courage to live and I hope to be able to focus on life again and not on migraines and pain!

Thanks for every approach!
W. Gapp

Hello, my dear,

Today you are in professional hands in the pain clinic. I have read most of these websites and wish you a relaxing stay with the ambition to achieve your goals. I think the help of the specialist staff will be of great support to you. With love, your BBB (keep your fingers crossed)

Hello dear pain clinic team,

After my stay at the Kiel Station Förde Pain Clinic, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone again very much. I felt very comfortable, especially the calmness that radiated from the nurses and doctors and the understanding of migraines that I was taken seriously. Thanks also to Dr. Henkel for the very good support. I can only recommend anyone who suffers from Mirganese or other headaches to go to Kiel because you are in great hands there and have the understanding you are often looking for. Thanks again.

Greetings Corinna Schreiner

I was in your clinic for three weeks and have been back home for about 3 months now. I would like to thank you very much again. I've had migraines for about 35 years - for about 7 years the whole thing had escalated and I had become addicted to painkillers. Staying with you helped me tremendously. I'm feeling much better!! My painkiller consumption has drastically decreased!! I tried so many things, but it was only with you that I really found help and finally understood what the problem really was. I would also like to thank you for the excellent care from the nursing staff and all the trimmings. I felt completely comfortable and well looked after.

Ladies and Gentlemen

I got a reference to your clinic on the website of the Syringomyelia self-help group. Now the topic of migraines and headaches is mainly addressed here; I don't find syringomyelia at all in the written descriptions. I have syringomyelia and have just come from a special neurological clinic with a focus on MS, but they previously assured me that they also knew and could treat syringomyelia. Unfortunately, I feel much worse after my stay; the treatment there was interrupted because they had the wrong therapeutic approach. Now I'm in a lot of pain and no confidence anymore. Since your clinic is also recommended on the Syringomyelia website, I would like more information about your clinic.

Kind regards, Heike T.

Dear clinic team, I have been suffering from severe tension headaches for more than 10 years. I tried Botox treatment and everything else without success. My only glimmer of hope is your clinic. What do I have to do to be admitted to you? About a year and a half ago I was in a psychosomatic clinic, without success!! Please write to me what I can do.

Kind regards, M. Bothe

Dear pain clinic team,

It's time for me to reflect on the past year, which flew by with all its many ups and some downs. Since my hospital stay with you in February 2005, a turning point has occurred in my life. The quality of life has improved, everyday life brings joy again and professional and private undertakings can be managed. Before my stay in the hospital, it would have been unthinkable for me that the pain-free phases would eclipse the painful ones. I would like to take this as an opportunity to thank the entire team once again for the professional treatment but also the caring and friendly support. I wish you all good luck, health and strength so that you can continue to give the people who trust in you a piece of hope and a future worth living.

Kind regards H. Döbbeler

Dear Professor Göbel,

I would like to wish you and your team a happy and successful New Year. Unfortunately, I was unable to thank you personally for the help I received in your clinic. Now I'll take the opportunity and catch up on this. Staying in your clinic helped me a lot. It was a last minute rescue. As you said in a television interview, pain therapy cannot just be done on the side, but is an independent specialty. Specializing in headaches is only an advantage here. Because I'm very stressed at work, I kept falling from one migraine attack to the next. After suffering from migraines for forty years and having had many painful experiences looking for help, the pain clinic in Kiel was my last hope. After my stay in your clinic, which I unfortunately had to shorten by a week for professional reasons, I regretted not having taken this step much sooner. The location of the clinic, the air, the peace, no pressure and of course all the staff with their pleasant manner - all of this had a really beneficial effect on me. As of now, I am thrilled to see that I am feeling better and that when a migraine attack occurs, it does not occur with the same frequency and severity.

I send many greetings and thanks to you and all the employees of the pain clinic from wintry Nuremberg.
Corina Hendrych

Dear pain clinic team,

I wish you all a Merry Christmas, a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. Good luck, your own health and continue to have as much humor as before. My conclusion after 5 months at home is wonderful. I have about 6 week intervals between my migraine attacks and they are absolutely harmless, in contrast to before the hospital stay. I am consistently implementing the knowledge I have learned with you and do the relaxation exercises every day out of necessity. The world hasn't ended either because I'm no longer at the forefront and the first to get involved :-) Now I can cope with deviations from everyday life quite well and, above all, the focus is no longer on migraines, but on life. Thank you again for the comprehensive help. It's the first Christmas without fear of migraines.

Kind regards
Heike Heinrich

Dear clinic, my mother (63) has been suffering from severe atypical facial pain for 8 months. She's all set and ready. Are such pains also treated in your clinic or only migraine patients?

Best regards, K. Peters

I would like to take this opportunity to send my heartfelt thanks to the entire pain clinic team and to encourage everyone who is plagued by pain to get help. Here in the pain clinic, the therapies are excellently coordinated and all the people caring for you are always balanced and friendly. You feel cared for and understood and if you as a patient get involved in the suggested therapies and actively participate, you immediately feel your quality of life increase. I would like to thank you for your help on all levels of therapy and for paving the way for everyday life. Since my discharge on August 3, 2005, I have still been pain-free and have the feeling that I can start everything again in a way that I haven't been able to do for a long time in recent years. After 46 years of migraines and tension headaches, this is a wonderful feeling. Even if it doesn't always stay that way, I have learned a lot and the stay in the pain clinic has already been worth it. Thanks again to the entire team, keep it up!!!

Warmest regards,
Heike Heinrich

Hello dear pain clinic team,

I found out about you while browsing on the internet. I have been suffering from migraines and headaches for many years and have been trying to find healing/improvement/help for just as long. Mostly in vain or only with small, brief successes. From A to Z - I've been everywhere, to everyone and tried almost everything. In the end, however, only painkillers often help. But the fear of the next attack or the consequences of chemical bombs remains and grows. I'm not there every week, but I'm on a regular basis. The problem I often have is that I don't always know whether it's a headache or a migraine attack. The pain is often similar and difficult to define. But I'm not giving up hope! Maybe I will be given the opportunity to visit you at some point.

I have also been suffering from migraines for many years. At the moment the attacks occur 1-2 times a week. What do I have to do to be admitted to your clinic? My adult son also suffers a lot from this; he is about to graduate and is not resilient. Maybe there is a chance for us to be admitted to your clinic.

Greetings with hope from Renate Steffen and son Oliver

Because of the repeat broadcast “b-treff”, I came across your website. We are very grateful as both my mother, my sister, my 11 year old daughter and I suffer from migraines to varying degrees, fortunately we have already received a lot of knowledge and help to improve, but I am very grateful to you as we Through your information, especially for my daughter, I will continue to receive even more qualified information and support, all the best for your continued efforts and thank you!

Not only the excellent information about migraines + side effects, but above all the fact that I was finally one of many among like-minded people, what an experience. This alone is worth a stay at your pain clinic.

Best regards

Hello, you are a good team and a very good clinic that I have now recommended to many people. Up soon. Greetings to all. Günter Hofmann

Huge praise for your homepage. The “Literature” section is particularly interesting to me because I suffer from migraines and tension headaches myself. I look at the HP almost every day because of the further development and changes. The forum was probably more or less an online doctor's survey? Continued success! Ingrid
