Headache SIG

Purpose

This SIG will expand the focus on headache within APS and seek to increase membership by those interested in headache. It will encompass interest in any disorder falling under the umbrella term headache including but not limited to migraine, cluster headache, tension-type headache, chronic daily headache, medication-overuse headache etc. 

Goals

• recruit new members into APS whose focus/specialty is headache;
• provide a venue for discussion of headache-related issues among APS membership;
• ensure that headache topics are well represented at annual APS meetings, ideally including at least one basic and one clinical headache session per meeting;
• advocate for headache-specific funding opportunities within APS;
• raise awareness among APS members of headache funding outside of the Society; and
• serve as a liaison to headache-specific societies such as the American Headache Society and International Headache Society
