Migraine is a chronic medical condition affecting an estimated 38 million people in the United States. Throbbing, often one-sided moderate-to-severe head pain, accompanied by light and sound sensitivity and nausea/vomiting are the most common symptoms. Some migraine sufferers experience dizziness, visual symptoms, numbness or weakness on one side of the body, slowed thinking or trouble speaking.
Migraine predominantly effects young and middle-aged woman (that is, during their prime work and child-rearing years), though it can strike men and children as well. When untreated, the World Health Organization lists migraine as among the top ten most disabling medical conditions.
Our migraine research program aims to find better acute and preventive treatments for adults and children who suffer from migraine.
