National Headache Awareness Week
June 1-7, 2008
National Headache Awareness Week strives to create awareness of the reality of the pain and suffering related to headaches. The National Headache Foundation educates the public about the causes and treatment of headaches and new medical approaches to their management.

The National Headache Foundation is committed to supporting individuals who experience headaches and the healthcare providers who care for them, and to educating the public about headaches as a biological disease.
