We have been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and the rapidly changing situation.  As our top priority is to educate and promote health, we have made the decision to postpone the conference "Injectable Treatments for Migraine".   We have rescheduled the conference to our Spring 2021 conference season.  

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and are looking forward to continuing this educational program at a time that is safe for all to attend.

Migraine is a leading cause of disability among Americans.  Around 40 million people in the United States have the disease and it is one of the top reasons for emergency room visits. With wait-times increasing among headache specialists and Neurologists, it is vital that non-neurologists and non-headache specialists become comfortable with migraine management. Within 2 years, new migraine preventive treatments have been FDA approved. This new family of medications, called calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) medications, are injectable treatments that patients can self-administer monthly. Thus, there is a strong need to teach medical professionals about these new medications, so they can extend their reach and increase the quality of life for patients.

1. Explore available injectable treatment options for migraine.
2. Review the evidence for procedural approaches in the management of migraine.
3. Compare how injectable and procedural treatments differ and customize a treatment which works for your patient.
4. Practice injections with guidance from a headache specialist
