+ Information:
Held in November 2025, this course is designed as an advanced, “fluff-free” educational experience that prioritizes clinical application over theoretical research. It reinforces the “paradigm shift” in headache medicine—moving away from viewing migraine as a vascular event and treating it as a complex neurological disease. The curriculum is heavily case-based, allowing attendees to troubleshoot real-world scenarios with national experts. It specifically targets the “gap” between standard guidelines and the nuances of treating difficult or refractory patients in a busy practice.
+ What You Will Learn
Attendees will be able to:
-
Navigate complex differential diagnoses, distinguishing between migraine, cluster headache, and secondary headache disorders (e.g., CSF pressure issues).
-
Implement a robust “Acute Care Toolbox” for patients who fail first-line abortive therapies.
-
Integrate the latest data on CGRP monoclonal antibodies and gepants into long-term preventive strategies.
-
Manage challenging patient populations through interactive case studies, including pregnant/breastfeeding women, the elderly, and adolescents.
-
Master interventional skills and “tips and tricks” for procedures like OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) and nerve blocks.
-
Address the behavioral and communicative aspects of chronic pain management, including medication overuse headache (MOH).
