Cluster Headache Day

21 March 2016 marks the launch of the first Cluster Headache Day, an event aimed to educate and raise awareness of the impact and burden of this disorder.

We are joining the campaign by putting together some of our informative articles, and sharing the latest open access research in cluster headaches and related topics.

To mark this day, we have published a post on our blog which features an event held in the European Parliament last month. 

You can also participate in our quiz to find out how much you know about cluster headaches!

We share the general message, quotes and photos from the joint European Headache Federation (EHF) and European Headache Association (EHA) Cluster Headache event.

More on the SpringerOpen blog.
