What we do and how we can help
Your charity: caring for you
We are here to help you understand and manage your migraine more effectively, enabling you to carry out normal daily activities.
We do this by providing information and advice on various aspects of migraine, ranging from practical tips on managing your migraine, to the different types of medication and treatment plans available. We have numerous information leaflets, which can help you manage your migraine so that the frequency or severity of your headaches can be reduced.
How we can help
Through our quarterly newsletter, Challenging Migraine, we provide the latest information on drugs and treatments available in the UK and keep you updated with key developments related to migraine. Our online information services hold a vast array of information, with our web forums providing the perfect opportunity for you to speak to other migraineurs and keep our experts busy with questions.
We work in partnership with various medical bodies, and are very active in encouraging and supporting research into migraine, its causes, diagnosis and treatment, and have been involved in many migraine research projects. Through our in house research and regular member surveys, we have a deep understanding of migraineurs and their quality of life.
