More great research from #HCNE2020Stowe as Dr. Alise Pham delves into outcomes and tolerability in patients who have switched between CGRP mAb therapies. This is applicable info for real world clinical practice! @PhamAlise @HeadacheCoopNE @GrahamHeadache

Fascinating #photophobia research presented by Dr. Eric Kaiser looking at the involvement of melanopsin and cone cells in the physiology of photophobia in control subjects versus migraine subjects with and without aura. #HCNE2020Stowe @HeadacheCoopNE @GrahamHeadache

Dr. Begasse de Dhaem @obegassededhaem presents data from her scoping review of workplace related disability due to #migraine at #HCNE2020Stowe. More research is needed to understand the full impact of migraine in the work place.

Happy Leap Day! Spending the day at #HCNE2020Stowe. Dr. Alyssa Lebel is speaking about pain matrixes involved in chronic pain, possibly including new daily persistent #headache, and what brain areas might have increased connectivity in this condition. @HeadacheCoopNE

[Melissa Darsey @majones16]

Great talk by Dr. Will Renthal about migraine genetics, which he explains is important to study in order to understand migraine parhophysiology, understand new targets, and hopefully will allow for personalized therapy for this condition! @willrenthal #HCNE2020Stowe

@smithbrainz @PhamAlise @GrahamHeadache @paulrizzolimd @obegassededhaem That would be great!

Dr. Licia Grazzi describes possible ways behavioral therapy (by itself or in conjunction w/ medication) works - it can help with stress reduction, decrease autonomic arousal, or even possibly lower baseline excitability of the brain. #AHSAZ @ahsheadache

[Melissa Darsey @majones16]

Great panel by the migraine and vascular disease special interest section! Interesting discussion on triptans and stroke! #AHSAZ

[Melissa Darsey @majones16]

Epidemiology facts: Migraine is the 2nd most disabling disease in the world and the first most disabling disease in people who are 15-49 years of age. @DawnBuse @ahsheadache #AHSAZ

[Melissa Darsey @majones16]

@AnnikaEhrlich1 is currently talking about risk factors and clinical course of migraine in the Bridge NP/PA pre-course at #AHSAZ. Headache diary use as well as quality of life scores are important for assessing burden of migraine in our patients! @ahsheadache

[Melissa Darsey @majones16]

Calling all APP (NP/PA) attendees at #ASHAM. The APP special interest group will meet at 10 am in the Pennsylvania Convention Center Room 203 A. See you there! @ahsheadache
