Why is Migraine Research Important?

  • Migraine is an exceedingly common disorder which causes substantial pain, disability and societal burden.
     
  • Unfortunately, migraine is poorly understood, under diagnosed and current treatments are often inadequate.
     
  • Although scientists have made important breakthroughs that have improved our understanding and treatment of migraine, progress has been slow.
     
  • A lack of funding for migraine research is one of the major factors that have slowed the speed of new developments in the field.
