Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV-1) has signed on as a cosponsor of the HEADACHE Act, H.R. 5536, as of October 1, 2026. That brings total House support to 53 members.
What this means for NV-1
An estimated 115,184 people in NV-1 live with a headache disorder, out of roughly 767,891 residents. Every one of them stands to benefit from the coordinated federal response the HEADACHE Act would create: better epidemiological data, a larger trained clinical workforce, and headache disorders finally treated as the public health priority their prevalence warrants.
Specialist access in Nevada
Nevada has 2 UCNS-certified headache specialists serving an estimated 468,599 residents living with a headache disorder. That ranks 49th of 50 states for specialist access. Nationally there are fewer than 900 certified specialists for more than 40 million patients.
Veterans in NV-1
There is no VA Headache Center of Excellence in NV-1. The nearest site is in Los Angeles, CA, about 237 miles from the district office. With only 29 such centers nationwide, most veterans living with post-traumatic headache have no specialized VA care within reach.
Rep. Titus is the first member of the Nevada delegation to cosponsor H.R. 5536.
