American Headache Society®

The American Headache Society® (AHS) is pleased to offer the

Chronic Migraine Education Program (CMEP) at no cost to healthcare

professionals. This interactive educational program is designed to

update physicians on the diagnosis, epidemiology, pathology, and

treatment of chronic migraine. During this program, attendees will have

the opportunity to review the most recent classification criteria on

how to differentiate chronic migraine from other headache disorders.

Recent studies on brainstem mechanisms believed to be activated

in patients with migraine will be reviewed. The latest evidence-based

clinical studies on treatment for chronic migraine will be assessed.

Throughout this course, there will be case-based discussion on

managing the patient with chronic migraine or diagnosing patient with

other headache disorders that might be confused as chronic migraine. PR
