2015 Annual Headache Cooperative of the Pacific (HCOP) Winter Conference

The symposium is intended to provide basic scientists and clinicians working in headache with a forum for translational talks aimed at increasing interaction between the two groups, nourishing creative solutions in headache medicine and research. The program is unique in that it is a small venue with very high level faculty, affording participants an opportunity to interact that is often missing at larger meetings. The program is also unique in that each year a different theme within the definition of translational approaches to headache is adopted, distinguishing it from the broader over view topics of clinical meetings or the potpourri of scientific presentations seen at scientific meetings. Feedback from participants at our previous meetings along with robust enrollment each year, indicates that this is a perceived need in the headache community.
