You have tried several treatments without sufficient effect

"It is the form of treatment that has made the biggest difference in my life with chronic migraines. I have tried many different treatments over the years. If I have to point to one form of treatment that has made the biggest difference for my daily life with chronic migraines, it is PRT. I have gained concrete tools to manage the symptoms, less fear of attacks, and a completely new understanding of the pain. Today, migraines take up less space in my life, and I experience much greater freedom in my everyday life."

"PRT has given me a completely different perspective on why I have headaches. I’ve gained concrete tools to work with my symptoms, and today I find that I can better manage the headaches and prevent them from taking up so much space in my everyday life."

"I started the program with hope, but also a certain amount of skepticism. That’s why I was positively surprised by what a big difference it made. I experience fewer headaches and migraines, and most importantly, I’ve gained a better understanding of my symptoms and tools that I still use in my daily life."

Simone

"The PRT program has been the biggest breakthrough I've experienced in 14 years of living with migraines. It hasn't made me migraine-free, but it has meant that the migraines no longer take over everything. Today, they stay more in the background of my life, whereas before, they were omnipresent and impossible to ignore."

How does a PRT program work?

From the first consultation to follow-up, we are with you every step of the way. We tailor the program to your symptoms and continuously evaluate what makes the most sense for you.

1

Initial assessment

We start by understanding your symptoms, your history, and previous treatments.

2

Understanding pain

You will learn how the brain, the nervous system, and the experience of pain are connected.

3

Practical tools

You will learn techniques and strategies that can help your brain feel more secure.

4

Training and follow-up

You will work with practical exercises in your daily life, while we monitor your progress and adjust the approach along the way.

What can you expect from a PRT program?

PRT is about helping the brain and nervous system react less alarmingly to the body's signals.

In some people, the brain's alarm system can become so sensitive that it continues to send danger signals even when there is no longer a physical threat to the body. PRT works to create a greater sense of safety when encountering symptoms and helps the brain gradually recognize these signals as less dangerous.

For some, this leads to less pain or fewer symptoms. For others, the benefit is less fear, greater freedom, and symptoms that take up less space in everyday life.

What is PRT?

PRT stands for Pain Reprocessing Therapy and is an evidence-based treatment method based on recent research into chronic pain and the brain's ability to learn and change throughout life.

Pain is the body's alarm system. Normally, pain helps us protect the body from injury. However, for some people, the alarm system can become so sensitive that it continues to react even when there is no longer any danger.

PRT works to help the brain feel safer and react less like an alarm to the body's signals.

The pain is real. PRT is not about the pain being imaginary. The treatment is about understanding and influencing the mechanisms in the brain and nervous system that can contribute to maintaining pain and symptoms.

You can participate from home

PRT is conducted via video consultations. Many find that it provides peace of mind and flexibility to be able to participate from home without the need for travel or waiting time.

The program largely consists of conversations, reflection, and practical exercises for everyday life. Therefore, many find that video consultations are engaging, personal, and effective.

Kind words from our clients

Patient experiences speak louder than words – here they share their stories.

"It was a huge help that I could get an appointment within the same week and didn't need a referral. All in all, my experience with Hemi was absolutely fantastic, and my meeting with the specialist was both very personal and professional."

Julie, 27 years old

“I was in safe hands with specialists who truly understood my situation. The digital solution meant that help was always within reach.”

Mette, 40 years old

“Receiving treatment online has worked surprisingly well. It has been absolutely optimal to be able to sit at home and thereby avoid both waiting time and driving back and forth. Especially on those days when my head feels heavy.”

"In just a few months, my quality of life has improved significantly. Through my conversations with the headache nurse, I have become much more aware of my own thought patterns and the fear I have of the next migraine attack."

What does the research say, and who can benefit from PRT?

PRT is based on research into chronic pain, neuroplasticity, and the brain's alarm system. The treatment combines knowledge, conversation, and practical exercises focused on changing the brain's experience of pain.

PRT may be relevant for people with conditions such as migraines, chronic headaches, post-concussion syndrome, facial pain, neck pain, or other chronic pain conditions.

Research shows that many people experience less pain and better function after treatment. Since PRT does not involve medication or physical interventions, there are no medical side effects.

It is always an individual assessment whether PRT is the right treatment for you.

How extensive is a PRT program?

It can be difficult to know in advance how much treatment you will need. That is why we always start with a free introductory consultation, where we assess together whether PRT is right for you.

Most people have around 6-12 sessions spread over 2-8 months. Initially, the sessions are typically scheduled closer together, while later on, there may be more time between them. You book and pay for only one session at a time and are not committed to a specific number of sessions. Most people should expect a total cost of around 6,000-12,000 DKK. When you attend regularly, you automatically receive our package rate.
