Professor Goadsby’smajor research interests are in the basic mechanisms of head pain in both experimental settings and in the clinical context of headache. The work of the Headache Group at UCSF involves human imaging and electrophysiological studies in primary headache, as well as experimental studies of trigeminovascular nociception. The aim is to understand what parts of the brain drive and modulate headache syndromes, and how those might be modified by treatment.
