RESEARCH IS HOPE
Giving People hope for better days
WHAT IS RESEARCH IS HOPE?
The Association of Migraine Disorders is proud to present Research Is Hope as a source of funding for investigators dedicated to advancing migraine research.
Migraine is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, however research is severely underfunded. Research Is Hope is our commitment to change this.
Research opens the door to better treatments and improved care for people with migraine. While there have been some groundbreaking treatment developments, the sad reality is that there are still millions of people who have yet to get their lives back from this debilitating and invisible disease.
More research is critical to finding effective and tolerable treatments for ALL people living with migraine.
