The lecture is an online (Zoom) lecture in which medical staff specializing in headaches from each region participate directly, and consists of introductions to various headache diseases and times to ask and answer questions about their usual diseases. Choi Yoon-ju, director of the Department of Neurology in Honam area, Kim Jae-myung, professor of neurology at Chonnam National University Hospital, Lee Se-young, director of the Department of Neurology, and Chung Jin-sung, professor of Wonkwang University Hospital, will participate in the first online lecture on the 23rd to introduce various headache diseases ranging from childhood headaches to migraines and military headaches and solve questions about headache diseases through real-time Q&A sessions.

Director Lee Se-young (Lee Se-young's Neurology Clinic) will then introduce the importance of preventive treatment for migraine, along with the importance of preventive treatment for migraine, anti-CGRP antibody injections, and Botox treatment. Finally, Professor Jeong Jin-sung (Department of Neurology at Wonkwang University Hospital) will share the diagnosis and treatment process and preventive treatment of migraine under the theme of 「Current treatment」.

This online lecture on the regional tour will be held online through Zoom, a video conference platform, and anyone interested in headaches, family members, or headache diseases can participate regardless of region.

Joo Min-kyung, president of the Korean Headache Association, said, "Headache diseases including migraines are serious diseases that affect patients' home, daily life, and social life. Compared to their severity, they are often misunderstood as a ' tolerable disease' or 'catch disease', so proper diagnosis and proper treatment are not being made."With the recent emergence of new migraine treatment options and hopes for patients, the Korean Headache Society will also make efforts to actively communicate with migraine patients and obtain appropriate treatment and accurate information."

Meanwhile, online lectures on regional tours will be conducted by the second half of the year by the second medical staff in Busan, Gyeongsang-do, following the first Honam area on July 23. Detailed schedules and information on the lectures will be updated later through the website 'Happy World Without Headache' of the Korean Headache Association.
