The Will Erwin Headache Research Foundation hopes that one day no family will have to endure the pain of losing a loved one to debilitating headaches. Since 2014, WEHRF has: • Raised more than $2.5 M to support The Will Erwin Headache Research Center (The Center) at Memorial Hermann’s Mischer Neuroscience Institute. • Established a partnership with the Memorial Hermann Health System and the University of Texas Health Science Center at the McGovern Medical School to help fund migraine and headache research to end the pain that millions suffer. • Hired an eminent neurologist and researcher who specializes in headaches, Dr. Mark Burish, M.D., Ph.D., to serve as Director of The Center. To date, Dr. Burish has enrolled 115 patients in his primary cluster headache study and has seen ~1,000 patients in the clinic for headaches, facial pain, painful neuropathies, and spine pain. • Brought together prominent neuroscience and genetics experts (Dong H. Kim, M.D., Pramod Dash, Seung-Hee Yoo PhD, Krista Qualmann C-GC, Georgene Hergenroeder, RN, PhD, and Randika Parakramaweera) to serve as key members of The Center’s research group along with Dr. Burish. Quick Look at the Impact of Debilitating Headaches • Cluster headaches, commonly referred to as suicide headaches, most often occur between the ages of 20 and 50 and occur in young men over women at a ratio of 2 to 1. [1] • Migraines affect almost 13% of the global population and are three times more likely to occur in women compared to men. [2] • An astounding 55% of cluster headache sufferers contemplate suicide due to the pain. [3] • Approximately 12% of the American population suffers from debilitating headaches, with 5 million Americans experiencing at least one migraine per month. [4] • Headaches rank as the 4th highest cause of disability in women. Migraines primarily manifest between the ages of 35 and 55, without regard to socioeconomic status or race. [5] • While migraines can cause physical symptoms, they can also impair an individual’s cognitive abilities and hinder their performance in daily tasks. [6] • 11 million Americans cite migraines as causing moderate to severe disability. [7] • Loss of productivity in the U.S. due to missed work as a result of migraines is estimated to be between $5.6 and $17.2 billion annually.
