Managing migraine day-to-day requires constant effort, no matter how long you’ve lived with migraine disease. People with chronic migraine – defined as a minimum of 15 migraine/headache days per month – may find this especially challenging. Not everyone has access to a certified migraine specialist. Very few people with chronic migraine receive a proper diagnosis and effective, guidelines-recommended treatment. As a result, chronic migraine patients receive inadequate treatment and their quality of life is severely impacted. What happens when we don’t have access to a trained medical professional who understands chronic migraine? There is a ripple effect that impacts literally every area of life.
The best way to advocate for ourselves is to be informed. We’re proud to announce the 2024 Migraine World Summit. This annual, free virtual event gives you the information you need to better understand migraine as well as other headache disorders. This will help you manage your own health and advocate for yourself to make sure you get an accurate diagnosis and access to the best treatment options.
Migraine World Summit Provides Answers to Your Questions
The Migraine World Summit doesn’t replace medical care provided by your doctor. However, it CAN help you partner with your healthcare professionals to better manage your migraine attacks. The Migraine World Summit will be live March 6-13, 2024. The world’s top experts in headache disorders will share new treatments, research, and best care practices for migraine and headache—including chronic migraine.
