We’re sharing with you an opportunity to learn more about some less common headache types. The Coalition for Headache and Migraine Patients (CHAMP) is collaborating with Praxis Precision Medicines, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, to host a series of virtual Town Halls on SUNCT/SUNA and Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks (SUNCT) - At least once a day, attacks of mild to serious, purely unilateral head pain lasting seconds to minutes and are typically accompanied by pronounced lacrimation and redness of the ipsilateral eye.
Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with cranial autonomic symptoms (SUNA) - Attacks fulfilling the criteria for SUNCT with only one or neither conjunctival injection and lacrimation (tearing).
During the town hall, Praxis will share its research in the rare headache and pain space. It is currently in the early stages of developing medicine for SUNCT/SUNA and Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Due to the relatively small number of SUNCT/SUNA and TN patients, these Town Halls are unique events to learn directly from individuals with these conditions.
