The 6th Annual International Headache Symposium in Israel

July 6, 2022

The 6th Annual International Headache Symposium in Israel will be held at Daniel Hotel, Herzliya (8 miles from Tel Aviv), on October 27, 2022. THe symposium is organized by the President of the Israeli Headache Association, Dr. Oved Daniel and by Dr. Arieh Kuritzky.

I am honored to have been invited to speak alongside the President of the International Headache Society Dr. Messoud Ashina, Dr. Rami Burstein of the Harvard Medical School, and other leading headache experts. The topic of my presentation will be “What to do when nothing works”. Other topics to be discussed include, Molecular signaling pathway in migraine: update, (Messoud Ashina), Connecting the line between dizziness, occipital headache, muscle tenderness and the cerebellum (Sait Ashina), Open-label studies: do they have any value? (Cristina Tassorelli), and others.

Your Brain Has Many Pathways, And TMS Can Now Use Them
A groundbreaking University of Iowa study shows that personalized fMRI-guided TMS can now reach and modulate the deep hippocampus — the brain’s command center for memory, emotion, and migraine — without surgery or heavy medications. By mapping each patient’s unique neural pathways, TMS delivers precise stimulation to surface “control points” that influence deep brain structures. Generic approaches barely work, but individualized targeting produces clear, measurable changes. At our headache clinic, we combine TMS and fMRI to offer this advanced, personalized treatment for migraines, depression, PTSD, anxiety, and more.
