Diamond Headache Clinic to present migraine tracks at PAINWeek, BRAINWeek 2022

The 2022 PAINWeek and BRAINWeek conferences, Sept. 6-9 and Sept. 28-30 in Las Vegas, will feature migraine tracks presented by the world-renowned Diamond Headache Clinic.

According to an event press release, the migraine track will take place at PAINWeek on Sept. 8 and at BRAINWeek on Sept. 29. Chairperson of both tracks will be Diamond Headache Clinic President and medical director, Merle L. Diamond, MD.

The headache clinic was established in 1974 and remains committed to the need for continuing education on diagnosis and treatment of headache and its recognition as a legitimate disease, according to the release.

“Headache treatment — and migraine treatment specifically — has changed dramatically in the last 5 years,” Diamond said in the release. “We have seen a greater understanding of migraine as a disease that significantly impacts the people who suffer from it and the tools we can utilize to help people get their lives back.”

The PAINWeek national conference will provide more than 75 credit hours in tracks such as acute, behavioral and interventional pain management; chronic pain syndromes; health coaching; medical and legal topics; neurology; occupational and physical therapy; and pharmacotherapy. Master classes, special interest sessions and sponsored courses will also be featured, along with tracks presented by professional medical societies.

The BRAINWeek national conference will include 21 credit hours on common conditions such as dementia, epilepsy, hearing loss, mental health disorders, migraine, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis and stroke. Also on the agenda are special interest sessions on rare disorders including Dravet syndrome, Rett syndrome and spinal muscular atrophy. An additional 10 credit hours will be available via On Demand access, per the release.
