The new website aims to organize the information about the illness, involving patients and health professionals

Dr. Patricia Pozo, head of the Headache & Neurological Pain at Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR), launched "https://www.midolordecabeza.org/" 'www.midolordecabeza.org', together with renowned neurologists from the Hospital Ruber Internacional in Madrid, the Hospital Clínico Universitario in Santiago de Compostela and Hospital Clínico in Valencia. The aim of the website is to organize the information about headache, including the latest advances in research, and make it accessible and useful for both patients and doctors. The website describes the different types of headache and its symptoms, how it is diagnosed, what the treatment consists of and which are the possible complications. It also includes a glossary with all the related terminology, and the explanation of the possible causes and consequences of the different types of headache. Research is also considered in the website. There is a detailed explanation about the main fields of study: detection of new headache entities, epidemiologic and genetic studies, basic research in experimental animals, cells or tissues, and functional neuroimaging research. The group led by Dr. Pozo at VHIR involves all these research lines, and pays special attention to migraine. Through the same website, it is possible to "https://www.midolordecabeza.org/es/donar-investigacion" make a donation in order to support the research of this group of scientific excellence.Finally, the new website has two sections devoted to patients: the first one is focused on contents related to daily life or the occasional moments requiring attention such as work, holidays, pregnancy and exercise, the second one is a community which includes a forum for patients and doctors, and a medical history registry that can be used to connect patients with neurologists.
