The prevalence rate of migraine headaches among Iranians is higher than the global average, said Mansoureh Taqa, an executive at the 23rd Congress of Neurology and Clinical Electrophysiology. A larger portion of the Iranian population suffers from tension headaches, while about 1.5 million are living with chronic ones. Nearly 10% of men and 20% women suffer from migraine. “The congress will present and discuss the latest medical achievements in the field including medical and non-medical treatment,” ILNA quoted Taqa as saying. Three foreign guests including Dr. Messoud Ashina, from the Danish Headache Center; Dr. Hossein Ansari, member of the American Headache Society, and Headache Specialist Dr. Sait Ashina will attend the event to be held May 10-13 2016 at the IRIB Conference Center in Tehran.
