Understanding Migraine
Migraine Clinical Trials
Migraine is a neurological condition characterized by recurring, intense headaches often accompanied by other symptoms. It is more than just a headache – it can significantly disrupt daily life and impact productivity and well-being. Migraines affect millions worldwide, with women being more commonly affected than men.
