Tore Wergeland
About
I am a senior consultant at the Neurology Clinic (St. Olavs Hospital), a research fellow at the Norwegian headache research center (NorHEAD) at NTNU, and an associate professor with several teaching responsibilities at the medical faculty at NTNU.
Background
I completed my degree in medicine and PhD a in metabolic neuroscience with a focus on in vitro MR spectroscopy in 2013. Since 2018, I have been part of the headache group at NTNU/StOH, which is part of NorHEAD.
Research Interests
- Clinical headache research
- Advanced MR modalities, especially spectroscopy
- Health innovation
Ongoing Research
Selected clinical projects:
- BioCer, clinical trial of home-based biofeedback for episodic migraine
- MiBlock, clinical trial of SPG injections for chronic migraine
For other projects, see my Cristin profile: 24898
Innovation Projects
I have contributed to the development of a motorized arm orthosis for patients with arm paresis, now continued as the startup company Vilje Bionics.
