About Ouch(UK)
OUCH (UK) was officially launched on Saturday June 9th 2001 and became a registered charity on May 8th 2002.
We exist to raise general awareness of the condition within the medical profession and the general public. We offer support and guidance to sufferers and their families and work closely with the Institute of Neurology in London where our Patron, Professor Peter Goadsby, runs the Headache Group.
The Group conducts clinical and laboratory-based research into the mechanisms and management of headache syndromes. Their main interests are in migraine and the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias, including cluster headache. The Group is widely acknowledged to be amongst the foremost clinical/translational groups in headache in the world. Many of our members, both sufferers and supporters, have participated in the research carried out there.
We produce regular newsletters/information leaflets and to date have held several regional meetings around the country and hold a National Conference every two years.
