The Headache
Cooperative of New England is a non-profit organization
composed of medical, dental, and allied health professionals
who are interested in the science and practice of headache
medicine. HCNE was established in 1986 as the New England
local affiliate of the American Association for the
Study or Headache (AASH), now the American Headache
Society (AHS). HCNE became independent of the AAHS several
years later and became a non-profit organization in
2002. HCNE has a Board of Directors
composed of leading headache specialists in the
greater New England region.
In
2008, HCNE published the
HCNE Comprehensive Review of Headache Medicine
book, (shown at right) which can be ordered from the
Publications page.
HCNE also publishes
a semiannual newsletter featuring articles and case
discussions. The most recent newsletters are also
available in Publications.
Our primary activities
consist of producing seminars, courses and publications
devoted to Headache Medicine, including a yearly Headache
Medicine Board Certification Review. The Winter HCNE
Stowe Headache Symposium and the Fall Boston HCNE
Headche Conference have become mainstays of the field
in our region, and attract a national attendance,
in large part because of the national and international
stature of faculty at these meetings (See Conferences).
Information for Patients
and Professionals
can be found in these pages as well as in our Links
section. We
have a strict policy governing our relationship with
corporate sponsors (see Pharmaceutical
Industry Policy).

Bylaws of the
HCNE can be sent electronically to anyone expressing
an interest. HCNE membership meetings are held yearly.
We welcome comments
