PRESENTATION

The National Congress stands as a crucial moment, among the scientific and educational activities of the Italian Society for the Study of Headache (SISC), intergrating the most important aspects in headache research and clinical and therapeutic advancements. Its objective is to provide the most appropriate recommendations for the management of adult, child or adolescent patients, in different care settings, in accordance with the multidisciplinary nature of SISC. Particular attention will be placed on the psychobiological bases underlying this heterogeneous group of disorders and on the therapeutic strategies best suited for their treatment. Specific sessions will cover physiological conditions and comorbidities (psychopathological disorders, in particular, depression, sleep, and vascular disorders) that modulate the expression of the disease in the patient. Other topics of interest will include the relationship between headaches and neuropathic pain (including clinical, pathophysiological and therapeutic aspects) and the chronic forms, especially those with symptomatic drug overuse, which present management difficulties in clinical practice and require the development of targeted and validated protocols. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches will be addressed with specific reference to the related pathophysiology interventions at different levels: control of the neurovascular and cardiovascular responses, modulation of the transmission/perception of pain, role of inflammation and immunity mechanisms, and hormonal regulation. Among the most recent therapeutic aspects botulinum toxin, new neurostimulation techniques, antiepileptic drugs and antidepressants, anxiolytics and hypnotic drug, hormone therapy, and specific symptomatic and anti-inflammatory drugs will be discussed. The conference is open to: neurologists, neurophysiologists, pharmacologists, internists, psychiatrists, child psychiatrists and paediatricians, anesthetists, general practitioners and psychologists, and all professionals working within the National Health System operating in the field of headaches. The National SISC Congress of Perugia 2013 would like to be an innovative learning project that enhances the content and the interaction between specialists of different disciplines, in an environment that is characterized, also structurally, as an example of effective exchange between the University and the National Health System.
