Headache Journal

Jerome C. Goldstein, MD 

Jerry, as he was often referred to, was an integral part of all the major research on the development of the “triptans”, in the 1980s and 1990s, which was at the time a game changer in the treatment of acute migraine attacks.  This was just one of his major contributions to the field of headache medicine, along with improving the quality of lives of thousands of patients who sought treatment at his very busy San Francisco headache center.  He was very philanthropic, especially to the arts and the LGBTQ+ community.  Jerry was very colorful and had a larger-than-life personality and he will be truly missed.
