In honor of #MigraineAwarenessWeek, we’d like to shine a spotlight on Jennifer Robblee, MD, MSc, FRCPC, FAHS, a headache neurologist in the #LewisHeadacheCenter at @BarrowNeuro. Her research focuses on improving care for patients with disabling headache and facial pain disorders, with primary emphasis on status migrainosus and refractory migraine. Dr. Robblee has recently contributed to several significant research advancements, including: 🧠Utilizing MRI to analyze and compare brain changes during status migrainosus, a severe migraine attack that lasts for over three days and often does not respond to medication. 👥Leading an international panel of experts in defining refractory migraine, aiming to improve recognition of patients whose migraine does not respond to preventive standard treatment. This is the first time an international consensus has ever been reached. 💉A collaboration with the @UCalgary completed a systematic review and guideline update reporting that intravenous prochlorperazine and greater occipital nerve blocks are a first-line therapy for patients presenting with migraine in the emergency department (ED). This study updated the American Headache Society’s 2016 guidelines for migraine treatment in the ED. Support from donors like you provides the critical funding needed to generate preliminary data for these studies, which can then expand and receive larger grants from external organizations.

When George Zapien arrived at #BarrowNeurologicalInstitute in #Phoenix, #Arizona, to have a small portion of his brain surgically removed, he didn’t feel worried or afraid—he felt happy. George had already spent 30 years living in fear. Behind his positive disposition lurked anxious thoughts about when and where his next #seizure would strike. “Am I going to be at work?” he said. “Am I going to be in church? Am I going to be shopping?” In the 10 months since undergoing #epilepsysurgery at Barrow, George hasn’t had a single seizure. It’s something he never thought possible when he was experiencing multiple seizures per week. Read his story at bar.rw/george.

Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated 40 years of #ClinicalExcellence at the #CenterforTransitionalNeuroRehabilitation (CTN) Open House!

Sarah Neylon, who graduated from the CTN 38 years ago, even traveled from Colorado to attend this event and show her support for the program that changed her life. “I truly believe the CTN saved me. I still don’t know how I would have made it without that program, and I will always be grateful.” - Sarah Neylon (Noonan) Learn how you can support the CTN and patients just like Sarah, here: bar.rw/47gm01A

Patients arrive at @BarrowNeuro during their most difficult moments. In this time of profound vulnerability, our #NeuroscienceNurses are the reassuring presence in their lives. They guide them through their toughest challenges and celebrate every triumph together. Barrow is home to 151 Certified Neuroscience Registered Nurses (CNRNs), more than any other hospital in the world. A driving force behind this culture of #NursingExcellence was Linda Hunt. Even if you didn’t know Linda personally, it’s likely that you or a loved one has received care within a system shaped by her leadership. She rose from bedside nurse to the President and CEO of Dignity Health’s Southwest Market but always remained a nurse at heart—prioritizing patients and their families. Linda cemented her legacy with an estate gift to the Barrow Neurological Foundation, empowering nurses to lead, innovate, and pursue the advanced research and education that define #WorldClassCare. Please consider joining us in fulfilling Linda’s vision and contributing to the Linda A. Hunt Neuroscience Nursing Excellence Endowment Fund. Make an impact here, bar.rw/4xicPsd

We are deeply saddened to share the recent passing of beloved Valley philanthropist and Barrow Neurological Foundation Board member, Ira A. Fulton. Ira’s connection to @BarrowNeuro was deeply personal. His son, Gregory Wayne Fulton, received care at Barrow during his with #ALS. After Gregory’s passing, Ira approached Dr. Shafeeq Ladha with a desire to make a difference, leading to a transformational gift establishing the Gregory W. Fulton ALS and Neuromuscular Disease Center. “As a philanthropist, Ira was special. I’ll never forget what he said to me when we discussed developing the Fulton Center. ‘I know you can’t save my son, but I want to try to help make sure this doesn’t happen to others in the future,’” said Dr. Ladha. Because of Ira’s vision, countless people living with ALS and their families have access to better care and renewed hope. His legacy will continue to change lives for generations to come. bar.rw/4hPdDAJ
