Often what works for one migraineur may not work for another; different people respond to different treatments. However, at Migraine Action, we believe that everyone deserves to find their own individual relief. And that's why we're supporting professional, clinical research organisation Synexus, who are involved in a study of a new daily medication to prevent migraine.
Like all potential remedies, its effectiveness needs to be tested and they are looking for people affected by migraine to try it over a 12 week period. Throughout the course of the study patients will be carefully monitored and your GP will be kept fully informed.
Help us to help you.
If, like us, you want to help find relief for yourself or others like you and you can answer YES to the following questions, the please contact Synexus for more information:
