OUR MISSION
The Association of Migraine Disorders® strives to expand the understanding of migraine by supporting research, education, and awareness.
What is Migraine?
Migraine is not just a headache, it's a complex neurological disease that impacts more than 1 billion people worldwide. In this medical animation by Nucleus Medical Media, made in collaboration with AMD, you will learn possible causes of this disease and what happens in the brain during an attack.
This video is sponsored in part by Amgen/Novartis, and Abbvie.
Shades for Migraine is a successful social media blitz created in 2017 by the Association of Migraine Disorders as a way to create a viral buzz around a disease that affects more than 1 billion people worldwide. Annually, people living with migraine, their friends, families, and coworkers post pictures on social media wearing sunglasses on (and around) June 21, the longest day of the year. Participants use the hashtag #ShadesForMigraine and challenge others to take part to make the campaign go viral.
Since 2017, a coalition of more than 50 migraine-related organizations and bloggers have come together to promote Shades For Migraine to make the biggest impact.

A Migraine Toolbox
A practical approach to diagnosis and treatment
The Migraine Toolbox is a free, comprehensive “how-to” course in managing migraine. It covers the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. It includes downloadable practical tools – including questionnaires, medication guidelines for clinicians, a patient brochure, and other resources. Those with migraine have many symptoms and therefore are seen by a wide range of medical professionals. This educational program will enable primary care physicians, nurses, pharmacists, gastroenterologists, and other non-headache specialists to care for these patients.
