The Migraine Trust – about us

Our Mission Statement:

The Migraine Trust seeks to empower, inform, and support those affected by migraine while educating health professionals and actively funding and disseminating research.

The Migraine Trust is the health and medical research charity for migraine in the United Kingdom.

We are committed to supporting people living with migraine by providing them and their families with evidence based information.  We seek to raise migraine as a serious public health issue.

The Migraine Trust funds and promotes research into migraine in order to better understand it, to improve diagnosis and treatment and ultimately to find a cure for this debilitating condition.
