Our annual conference uniquely brings together those that suffer from these disorders, representatives of leading research institutions, physicians and others dedicated to bringing much needed relief to the pain and suffering that accompanies these disorders. Clusterbusters voice among the cluster headache community, along with our close working relationships with other non-profit organizations such as the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy (AHDA) and the American Headache and Migraine Association (AHMA), keeps us in the forefront of the latest research and advocacy efforts. Our extensive mailing list reaches the entire spectrum of the community, from patients, physicians, researchers, government officials and agencies to all forms of media news outlets.
