Study on how migraine impacts people's life
United BioSource Corporation (UBC)* is conducting a research project in which they are trying to gain a better understanding of how migraine impacts on people's lives. They would like to understand how people experience migraine and so would like to collect this information from migraine suffers.
Volunteering
You will be asked to take part in a face-to-face interview with a researcher from UBC which will focus upon information such as your background (age, gender etc.) and your quality of life as it is affected by migraine.
UBC will pay volunteers £25 to thank them for their time and, more importantly, they will make a donation to Migraine Action.
If you suffer with at least 1 migraine per month, take medication for your migraine attacks and are over 18 years of age you are eligible to take part in the study.
If you are interested in learning more about this study, patient invitation packs can be obtained from Migraine Action on 0116 275 8317 or by emailing info@migraine.org.uk.
Alternatively you can call UBC directly on 0800 0285 552. Please quote reference: UBC8182 and don't forget to mention Migraine Action.
