About 15% of the European population has to deal with this neurological disease . It means that in average, in your country, 1 in 7 people suffer from Migraine. Many of them are silent and seem to live an apparent normal life but the reality is other. Migraine is not just a headache; migraine is a disease that keeps people in the dark for hours, days and years in a whole life. Pain is just one of the many symptoms that patients suffering from migraine face, making them episodically enable to think, to work and/or to perform normal social activities for several times. As a result, migraine has a devastating impact on their life and loved ones.
