Who We Are

The American Interventional Headache Society™ (AIHS) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) national professional organization working for the benefit of people suffering from intractable headache, neck, and face pain that is not responding to conventional treatment. There is a big gap in the education and training of both patients and health care providers about multimodal interventional treatment options for the treatment of medically resistant head, neck, and face pain. Patients and health care providers must be adequately trained and educated to identify and implement appropriate multimodal interventional treatment options for medically refractory or treatment resistant head, neck, and face pain.
