MIGRAINE IS MORE THAN A HEADACHE — A RADICAL RETHINK OFFERS HOPE TO ONE BILLION PEOPLE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Progress in understanding migraines has started to advance beyond focusing on just headaches. Researchers are now developing measures for the cognitive symptoms of migraines. Measuring cognitive symptoms is particularly important to show whether treatments are effective or not. Previous treatment studies focused on headache severity, light sensitivity, and nausea, but little else - cognitive symptoms are commonly felt in between migraine attacks as well. It may require a serious rethink about the causes of migraines in order to make it possible to treat all the complexities of the condition.
