The case for a new approach

Understand, diagnose, treat

Headache disorders are painful and disabling, yet they are often dismissed as a minor or trivial complaint. We want to move the dial and help more healthcare providers to achieve better patient outcomes. 

Lumina has partnered with some of the world’s leading experts in primary headaches to develop a diagnostic aid to assist in accurate identification of the type of headache as well as treatment philosophy, approach, services, and resources required to better manage pain. The 20 hour self-guided Primary Headaches Course is the cornerstone of the Lumina Primary Headaches Program.
