Clinical Background
Dr. Fred Cohen is a nationally recognized headache medicine specialist and one of the few physicians in the United States to hold board certification in headache medicine from the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS). His practice is specifically structured around the most complex and underserved headache presentations — including post-traumatic headache, a condition that is ubiquitous among motor vehicle accident patients and frequently underdocumented in PI medical records.
Post-traumatic headache is one of the most clinically significant yet underdiagnosed consequences of motor vehicle accidents. It affects a substantial proportion of TBI and concussion patients and, when properly documented and treated, is a significant contributor to case value. Dr. Cohen's subspecialty expertise allows MAIC to offer specialist-level headache evaluation and treatment — Botox for chronic migraine (onabotulinumtoxinA, 31-40 injection sites), nerve blocks, sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) blocks, trigger point injections, and comprehensive pharmacological management — for patients whose headache complaints require more than primary care management.
Dr. Cohen has been featured in NBC, CBS, Today Show, New York Times, Fox News, National Geographic, NPR, and SiriusXM, and serves on the board of the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy (AHDA). He is an active member of the American Headache Society and contributor to peer-reviewed headache literature including the journal Current Pain and Headache Reports. His availability for telemedicine and flexible scheduling makes him a practical specialist resource for MAIC's PI patient population.
