Healio will provide live coverage of the American Headache Society Annual Meeting, which will be held June 28-July 1 in San Francisco.
The 60th annual meeting – which typically attracts more than 1,000 neurologists and headache specialists – has been planned to explore the latest research related to the epidemiology, prevention and treatment of migraine.
“The studies presented at the 60th AHS Annual Scientific Meeting deepen our understanding of headache and highlight research advances and continued progress towards more effective, better tolerated and safer treatment options,” Peter Goadsby, MD, PhD, FAHS, AHS Scientific Program Committee Chair and the director of NIHR-Wellcome Trust King’s Clinical Research Facility in London, said in a press release. “This is an unrivaled era for headache disorders, providing patients with much needed hope and concrete advances.”
The annual meeting coincides with National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month, which brings attention to the fact that migraine affects more than 36 million men, women and children in the U.S. and is the leading cause of disability worldwide due to a neurological disease.
