Headache disorders are the most common brain conditions affecting a large portion of the general population. The Iranian Headache Association (IHA) is a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by headaches in Iran. IHA focuses on changing perceptions and sharing knowledge about the causes and treatments of headaches and related painful disorders. It is essential to educate key stakeholders, including neurologists, general practitioners, and all individuals involved in headache management, on the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.
Thank you for your interest in the IHA! We invite you to explore the various sections of our website to learn more about headaches and discover how you can contribute to our vital mission of improving lives today.
