OUCH UK

Event Notes:

The Organisation for the Understanding of Cluster Headache (OUCH UK) is heading to the heart of the West Midlands for our 2026 Summer Conference. Whether you are a sufferer, a supporter or a medical professional, this is a vital opportunity to connect, learn and share experiences in a supportive environment.

Why Attend?
Cluster Headache is often called “suicide headache” due to their intensity. Our conferences are designed to ensure no one has to face this condition alone.

Expert Speakers: Hear from leading neurologists and headache specialists about the latest trials, research and treatments.

Community Support: Meet others who truly understand the impact of CH on work, life and family.

Practical Advice: Gain insights into managing attacks and navigating the healthcare system.
