Research on women's health has been underfunded for decades, migraine included. Migraine is a common neurological disorder that causes moderate to severe, recurring headaches. At our event we will address: Why migraine is more common in women? What makes migraine attacks so unpredictable? What stigma is associated with the disease? And what are the implications for the patient's mental and physical health, and quality of life overall?

Please join The Hill on Sep 24, as we convene leaders in the migraine space to answer these questions and provide education and insights around migraine, women, and what needs to be done to improve the lives of those living with migraine.
