From the MIGRAINE TRUST

Migraine Awareness Week – 24-30 September

Today we have released a new report, Heading in the wrong direction: Challenges in migraine care and why people with migraine deserve better which reveals that people with migraine are struggling to access appropriate diagnoses and treatments.

It highlights how the misunderstanding of migraine being ‘just a headache’, lack of specialist care and unequal provision of treatments means many are left struggling alone with debilitating symptoms.

We want this to change and have made a number of recommendations on how this can be addressed, from health boards reviewing the migraine needs of their populations, to increased education, to a national drive to improve migraine care.

You can read our findings and recommendations in the report here.
