Message from the Editor

Among many areas of controversy in headache medicine is the role of diet in
migraine. HCNE had a great review of this topic in our Winter 2007 Boston meeting from Dr. Frederick R.Taylor, a regular attendee at HCNE events, who kindly accepted the invitation to write our main concise review. See Feature Article.

In this newsletter, you will also read about a successful lobbying event called ‘Headache on the Hill’ that took place in Washington in September, attempting to highlight the poverty of public funding for headache research in the United States. See Headache on the Hill.

Finally, HCNE will have another Headache Medicine Board Review course in the summer for those candidates sitting the UCNS Headache Board examination in 2008, so keep in touch with us at this website's HCNE Conferences page for upcoming details on our summer 2008 review. Other current and upcoming conferences are listed in this newsletter's Events page.

Thank you for reading,
