For more than four decades, Dr. Egilius L. H. Spierings has stood at the forefront of medical innovation—bridging science, compassion, and clinical excellence to better understand one of humanity’s most common yet misunderstood ailments: headaches. A world-renowned neurologist, pharmacologist, and clinical researcher, Dr. Spierings delivers both precision and empathy in his groundbreaking new work, Headaches: Why You Have Them and What You Can Do About Them (2025), a transformative guide that unites cutting-edge science with practical healing.

Born in Helmond, the Netherlands, Dr. Spierings began his journey toward medical distinction at Erasmus University Faculty of Medicine in Rotterdam, where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in medical sciences, his medical doctorate, and a PhD in experimental pharmacology. This foundation shaped a career defined by intellectual rigor, scientific integrity, and an unyielding commitment to improving lives.
His postgraduate training spanned multiple disciplines—neurology and neurosurgery at University Hospital Dijkzigt (now Erasmus Medical Center) in Rotterdam, psychiatry at Reinier de Graaf Gasthuis in Delft, and headache management at the Headache Research Foundation in Boston, Massachusetts. This rare breadth of expertise gave Dr. Spierings a holistic view of pain, allowing him to approach headache disorders not merely as symptoms but as dynamic conditions shaped by neurological, psychological, and lifestyle factors.

Throughout his distinguished career, Dr. Spierings has been both a pioneer and a mentor. He served as Professor of Neurology and Craniofacial Pain at Tufts University Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine, and as Associate Clinical Professor of Neurology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School. His influence extends beyond his patients—his teaching and mentorship have empowered generations of medical professionals to better understand and treat complex pain syndromes.

Today, as Medical Director at the Boston Headache Institute and MedVadis Research at Boston Advanced Medicine, Dr. Spierings continues his mission to merge science and compassion in patient care. His ongoing research delves into the biological and environmental triggers of headaches, developing evidence-based, patient-centered strategies that move beyond symptom relief toward long-term healing.

In Headaches: Why You Have Them and What You Can Do About Them, Dr. Spierings distills decades of knowledge into an accessible, empowering guide for both patients and practitioners. The book demystifies the root causes of headaches—from migraines to tension-induced pain—and offers practical, science-backed strategies for prevention and relief. More than a medical manual, it’s a message of hope. Dr. Spierings believes that knowledge is healing—that when patients understand their conditions, they reclaim power over their pain and their lives.
