Remarks on an educational training course on headache

In the last years several studies have been performed on migraine; however, only few topics have changed the clinical practice. Among these, there are physiopathological insights (e.g., allodynia and gastric stasis) or therapeutical evidences (e.g., topiramate) that become very important in the management of migraine and could clarify the different response to the therapies. The aim of a training school on headache should be to link research to practice without transferring contradictory data. To teach is not only to support notions with simple data: we think that knowledge has to be used according to the condition of the patient and the situation in which the migraineurs live.
