Veterans with Headache Diseases
Today we honor veterans with headache diseases.
Below you will find a panel discussion on 4 key points
- Conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are driving an increase in migraine and
headache disorders. - The VA system offers cutting-edge technology, but more headache specialists
are needed - Stigma can deter veterans and active-duty service members from
seeking treatment. - New therapies, heightened awareness, and stronger social support can help veterans face their migraine and headache disorders.
