NEW MIGRAINE RESEARCH IS EXCITING BUT HERE’S WHAT’S PROVEN RIGHT NOW
Migraine research is moving faster than ever. At major neurology meetings this year, investigators presented early data on everything from genetic pathways to entirely new compounds, including small, tightly controlled academic trials of experimental serotonin-based...
SEROTONIN & MIGRAINE: WHY SOME MEDICATIONS NEVER SEEMED TO WORK FOR YOU
Migraine is fundamentally a brain condition and one of the most consistent findings in migraine research over the past two decades involves serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, sleep, and pain signalling. Picture neurons playing catch: one...
