Learning Objectives
This program is designed for participants wishing to achieve competence
and improve their skills in assessing headache and facial pain patients. It will
incorporate a survey of the principal evidence-based treatments, including
pharmacology, surgical procedures, psychology, and complementary
medicine, and the methods examined will range from conservative and
non-invasive to radical and invasive, with special attention to the
comparative risks involved and their physical and psychosocial impact on
the patient. Clinicians preparing for board exams will find this course helpful.
