Can You Provide Any Resources To Locate A Doctor Who Can Help Treat Daily Persistent Headache ?

my son was diagnosed with new daily persistent headache after extensive workup to rule out other causes. daily headaches have lasted 6 months with no let up. He has tried in patient hospitalization in Chicago with no help. Can you recommend a doctor in the Los Angeles CA area who might be of help. If not, can you provide me with any resources to try to locate a doctor who may be of help. We really don't know where to turn.
