We at the American Headache Society and Blackwell Publishing are pleased to offer a website that should serve both to give you a taste of the Society's flagship journal, Headache, as well as provide potential authors and others information regarding the journal's submission and review process and general operations.

Headache and facial pain are disorders that affect the lives of many millions of individuals, imposing a gigantic physical, emotional, and financial burden. Integral to the easing of this burden is education and the dissemination of knowledge that will enable those afflicted to manage their pain and associated symptoms more effectively. We trust that this website—and the journal it describes—will assist all of us in achieving a greater understanding of these common and vexing disorders and thus advance the Society's overarching purpose: "...to improve the lives of headache sufferers."
