🩺 Program Overview

The Headache Cooperative of New England (HCNE) 25th Annual Boston Fall Headache Symposium 2025 provides a comprehensive multidisciplinary update on the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of headache disorders and migraine-related conditions.

This educational symposium brings together leading experts in neurology, headache medicine, neuroimaging, dentistry, vestibular medicine, and behavioral health to address complex headache syndromes through practical, evidence-based clinical teaching.

The program focuses on difficult diagnostic challenges including spontaneous CSF leaks, unilateral facial pain, vestibular migraine, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), medication overuse headache, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH)-related imaging findings.

Participants will gain practical guidance on modern migraine guideline implementation, hormone replacement therapy in migraine patients, multidisciplinary headache care models, neuroimaging interpretation, and strategies to prevent headache chronification.
