Volume 4, Issue 1 • 2014 16 Tension-Type Headache 20 The Surgical Treatment of Migraine contents 30 The Presidential Headache Since I established the first comprehensive, private headache clinic in the U.S. in 1972, there has been a proliferation of both headache clinics and the number of practitioners dedicated to headache medicine. In a previous publication (Headache Clinics, published by Associates in Medical Marketing, 1980-1983), which I edited, we featured different headache clinics and practices. These issues, however, were geared for health professionals. That earlier project engendered the idea that a similar series would be appropriate for inclusion in HeadWise™. In future issues, we will continue featuring various headache clinics and practices dedicated to the headache patient. It is our hope that these articles will provide our readers insight into both the various sites providing headache care and also the various approaches to headache management. This inaugural article features the Mount Sinai Center for Headache and Pain Medicine in New York City. Its director, Mark Green, MD, is a member of the Board of Directors of the National Headache Foundation. The staff physicians at the Center have all contributed to HeadWise™, and have moderated chat rooms which are available on our website, www.headaches.org.
