He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why, with so many billions of people suffering, headache research is not a top priority in medicine, why it is so difficult to study and his own experience with debilitating cluster headaches. His book is “The Headache: The Science of a Most Confounding Affliction—and a Search for Relief.”
