We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) national professional organization working for the benefit of people suffering from intractable headache, neck, and orofacial pain that is not responding to conventional treatment.
To raise awareness, promote, and advance interventional headache science through better education, patient care and research support.
Hands-on training through workshops and lectures to physicians and health care professionals working for the benefit of people suffering from intractable headache, neck, and orofacial pain unresponsive to conventional treatment.
Besides the educational workshops on interventional headache procedures,
AIHS also offers board certification in headache management and publishes a dedicated medical journal focused on headache medicine.
Headache Board Certification
AIHS offers the American Board of Headache Medicine® (ABHM) to qualified physicians to enable them to document knowledge, training and skills in this new subspeciality of pain management.
Annals of Headache Medicine®
Annals of Headache Medicine® Journal contains peer-reviewed scientific and clinical studies to advance the understanding and clinical application of multimodal interventional therapies for head, neck, and orofacial pain.
For many patients, treatment of pain is inadequate not just because of uncertain diagnoses and societal stigma, but also because of shortcomings in the availability of effective treatments and inadequate patient and clinician knowledge about the best ways to manage pain. “2011 Institute of Medicine's (IOM) "Relieving Pain in America"
This is a quantum leap in our understanding of migraine pathophysiology and the development of new treatment options. Pain physicians are interested in this pursuit and keen to learn about and adopt these new medications and novel approaches to migraine and other headache disorders. However, despite the enthusiasm over these new medications and advanced techniques there are limited teaching resources.
As such, learning about various methodologies and gaining experience with specific medications and techniques for head and neck blocks are obvious goals for the beginner and experienced alike. Additionally, it is important to also obtain a good knowledge base of the anatomy, physiology and pathology behind various headache syndromes, as well as to acquire practical tools and techniques for avoiding common mistakes. These key gaps/educational needs are addressed in our AIHS events and workshops.
