Annual Evidence Update on Headache: 24-28 August 2009

An update of the evidence on this topic from NHS Evidence – neurological conditions

The Neurological Conditions Specialist Collection is launching its second Annual Evidence Update on Headache on Monday 24 August, to be ready in time for National Migraine Awareness Week (6-12 September 2009).

The Neurological Conditions Specialist Collection Project Team has carried out a systematic literature search on headache to identify all high level evidence published since the date of the last headache Annual Evidence Update in 2008, including guidelines, systematic reviews, health technology assessments and economic evaluations. Leading headache and migraine experts from around the UK have read and appraised these for their validity and relevance to the busy clinician. A list of the papers deemed worthy of inclusion, along with expert commentaries by our reviewers, will be freely available on the site at www.evidence.nhs.uk/neurological from 24 August. This year we have also begun to identify uncertainties in research to contribute to the UKDUETs project (see www.library.nhs.uk/duets for more details).

We welcome feedback about the Update - please contact us with any comments on neurological@medsch.ucl.ac.uk.
