Description
Boston University 23rd Annual HCNE Boston Headache Symposium 2023
Boston University 23rd Annual HCNE Boston Headache Symposium 2023 Headache and facial pain are highly prevalent, disabling, complex medical conditions that are frequently chronic and are often under-diagnosed and inadequately treated. They place a considerable burden on the medical system in both time and financial resources.
While the underlying pathophysiology and basic science mechanisms of migraine and other chronic pain disorders have made many advances, there is still much to be learned and understood about these very troublesome public health problems.
The evaluation, diagnosis and management of these pain disorders are a very important continuing education mission and one of the primary objectives of the Headache Cooperative of the Northeast. The goal of this activity is to increase the requisite skills needed to classify, differentially diagnose and treat the most common primary and secondary headache disorders.
- Include: 7 videos, size: 2.8 GB
- Target Audience: physicians, dentists, psychologists, physician assistants, physical therapists and other health professionals to learn from the leaders in headache medicine
