Learn from The Migraine World Summit

April 26, 2017

I am certain that you will learn a lot of useful information from listening to the top headache experts in the world. The event is free during the week when it is held (April 23 – 29), but afterwards you will have to pay for full access to all interviews. The Migraine World Summit is in its second year and it again assembled excellent speakers to address a wide variety of headache-related topics. Last year I spoke on non-drug therapies and this year the speakers are again addressing not only medications, but many alternative treatments and self-care. In addition to many leading neurologists, the event features Ping Ho, MA, MPH, a UCLA expert on alternative therapies, meteorologist, Michael Steinberg of Accuweather, Vidyamala Burch, a mindfulness expert, an Australian psychologist, Paul Martin, a geneticist, Professor Lyn Griffiths of Queensland UT (the event is organized by an Australian migraine sufferer Carl Cincinnato, so there are many Australians represented), and over 30 other experts.

Here is a blurb from the organizers:

In it’s first year, The Migraine World Summit became the largest ever conference for migraine patients. In 2017, we’re back with 36 brand NEW interviews where you’ll discover even more about…

What are the best treatments for migraine?
What can I do when I’ve already tried everything?
What are the secrets to finding effective natural alternatives?
How can I cope with the anxiety, judgment and social stigma of chronic migraine?
What new treatments are coming that I should be aware of?
What are the most common challenges that could appear?
The 2017 Migraine World Summit is online and free from April 23 – 29, 2017!

fMRI-guidedTMS targeting improves outcomes
This post reviews new data showing that fMRI‑guided, connectivity‑based TMS targeting improves response rates in treatment‑resistant depression and likely other conditions. By mapping each patient’s brain circuits, clinicians can move beyond a one‑size‑fits‑all DLPFC target to condition‑specific and patient‑specific sites, a particularly important advance for migraine and network‑based pain disorders.

Essential Oils Can Change Your Brain
The science of essential oils and the brain is still young, but the findings so far are more compelling than many people realize. Brain imaging studies show that common scents like rose, lavender, peppermint, and lemon produce measurable changes in brain structure, brain activity, and pain processing. These studies are small and preliminary, and essential oils are not a substitute for medical treatment. But the evidence suggests that what we smell can influence the brain in real, physical ways
