Richard P. Kraig, MD, PhD

William D. Mabie Professor in the Neurosciences

Departments of Neurology and Neurobiology, Pharmacology and Physiology

Director, Migraine Headache Clinic

Dr. Richard Kraig is an expert in migraine patient care, migraine research, and cerebrovascular disease research. His clinical interests focus on the diagnosis and treatment of migraine headaches. He oversees the Cerebrovascular Disease and Aging Laboratories, which focus on migraine, stroke, epilepsy, and cognitive decline from aging.

An active researcher, Dr. Kraig leads investigations to determine how physical, mental, and social activities can lessen the impact of neurological disease. Examination of such mechanisms by which the brain naturally protects itself may lead to more selective cellular and molecular targets, as well as new therapeutic strategies against brain disease. Dr. Kraig's research helps him to develop individualized treatment plans for patients in the Migraine Headache Clinic. He is also involved in teaching medical students, graduate students, and residents.
