AHS Members' Choice Award for the Best Headache Article.

Abstract

Once again it is time to run the American Headache Society (AHS) Members’ Choice Award. Last year, the following two papers won the award jointly: Functional Neuroimaging in Migraine: Chances and Challenges Laura H. Schulte and Arne May1 The Role of Melatonin in the Treatment of Primary Headache Disorders Amy Gelfand and Peter J. Goadsby2 As with previous years, we ask the members of the AHS to vote on their favorite paper published in Headache from the previous 12 months. As Editor-in-Chief, I have provided a shortlist of five unsolicited papers (ie, papers the editorial office did not commission) that I feel represented the very best content we have published. As always the choice is hard as 2017 saw the journal publish several standout papers. Starting March 1, 2018, members of the AHS will be able to vote on their favorite paper drawn from the list below. Notices will be sent to members, encouraging them to vote by simply identifying their personal preference for the paper most worthy of recognition. Voting must conclude by March 31, 2018. All papers will be made freely available during the voting period to help aid your familiarity with the content. The winning paper will be announced both in the June issue of Headache as well as at the 2018 AHS Annual Scientific Meeting. The authors of the winning paper will be notified ahead of time and asked to contribute an editorial discussing their work. The five papers under consideration are3-7: Persistent and Repetitive Visual Disturbances in Migraine: A Review Christoph J. Schankin; Michelle Viana; Peter J.
