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).

have a strict policy governing our relationship with

Industry Policy).
