The Tufts Headache and Face Pain Symposium: Diagnosis, Treatment and Interprofessional Options
Boston, MA •Friday, April 22, 2016, 8:30 a.m. - Saturday, April 23, 2016, 4:30 p.m.
Headaches and craniofacial pain are increasingly common complaints among the general population, with recent studies indicating that up to 20% of adults have occasional severe headaches (with 5% reporting such symptoms daily), and that up to 7% of adults report having orofacial pain. These common conditions can offer diagnostic and treatment planning challenges to medical professionals, particularly when such conditions involve both medical and dental factors.In this two-day course, subject matter experts from dental and medical backgrounds will present on various aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of both headache and face pain, with the goal of preparing physicians, dentists and key staff members to better understand the mechanisms, side-effects and forms of treatment for these conditions.
