Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Headache is one of the most significant challenges faced by people worldwide. The economic and opportunity losses caused by headaches are increasingly recognized, and a paradigm shift is underway as new medications are being introduced. Headaches, especially migraines, have now become treatable conditions. However, some patients remain "headache refugees" or suffer from medication-overuse headaches due to a lack of access to appropriate care and accurate information. In order to increase the number of patients who can benefit from headache treatment, it is not enough to introduce new drugs; we must broadly educate, monitor, and generate data-driven knowledge about the burden of disease in headaches and the significance of its treatment effects.
For this Special Issue, we invite the submission of manuscripts on a wide range of topics related to the treatment and prevention of headaches. We particularly welcome papers that address new drug therapies, awareness-raising initiatives, and epidemiological studies that aim to expand access to appropriate headache care. In addition, we are interested in papers that explore the role of the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence, data science, and wearable devices, in advancing headache treatment and management.
We encourage submissions that will help make headache care accessible to a broader population and contribute to societal change, with a focus on leveraging technological innovations to improve clinical outcomes.
