Migraine Patient Toolkit

A migraine attack is not just a headache.

Migraine is a neurological disease that requires patients and health care providers to work together to manage symptoms such as severe head pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light/sound that can disrupt patients’ lives.

Our toolkit is designed to help people with migraine navigate their care.

This patient-centered resource provides easy-to-understand information about migraine diagnosis and treatment, as well as tips on interacting with health care providers and health insurance companies to achieve the best possible outcomes.
