The conference in a nutshell
Migraine is often underdiagnosed and is a debilitating condition due to the frequency, duration, and intensity of attacks, which can have a significant impact on personal, academic, or professional life. It is the most debilitating neurological condition among people under 50 and the second most debilitating condition among those over 50.
Today, there are effective and safe treatment options available to relieve pain during attacks and reduce the frequency of migraines. Research has made significant progress in understanding the mechanisms of the condition and in developing specific, innovative treatments.
At this conference, Anne Ducros will provide an overview of the current understanding of migraine and answer these questions as well as those from the audience:
- How can you tell the difference between a migraine and another type of headache?
- What happens in the brain during a migraine attack?
- What are the effective acute and maintenance treatments?
- What type of birth control is best for a woman who suffers from migraines?
- How can you study or work when you have migraines?
