Lecture hall Old Children's Clinic, UKSH, Kiel Campus

Schwanenweg 20, 24105 Kiel

As part of the master's degree program "Master of Migraine and Headache Medicine", the Center for Scientific Continuing Education at Kiel University invites you to a public lecture event for patients, relatives and interested parties. Experts report on new developments in migraine and headache therapy. This will be followed by a panel discussion with executive board members from nationwide self-help groups on the topic.

The treatment of headaches has developed into one of the most successful and fascinating fields of medicine in recent years. Many causes of headaches have been revealed. The mechanisms that maintain and aggravate headaches are more fully understood. Headaches can now be classified and diagnosed very precisely. Today there are 367 main types of headaches. Most types of headache can be treated precisely and in a specialized manner. In the case of the widespread forms of headache, especially migraine and tension-type headache, prevention through behavioral adjustment, knowledge and information plays a crucial role. Without knowledge of the background that causes, maintains and complicates headaches, successful and sustainable headache treatment is not possible. But new and innovative medications are also available to headache patients today. However, contemporary and modern knowledge must also be made directly available to those affected. In recent years, completely new ways have been implemented to ensure that patients with headaches can be cared for in the future and in a contemporary manner.

Anyone interested is cordially invited to the free lecture event in the lecture hall.

Alternatively, you can also participate online: https://uni-kiel.zoom.us/j/65446892321
