Migraine & Stigma Survey 2023 In 2023, the EMHA conducted a comprehensive pan-European digital survey answered by 4.210 people across 17 countries. In order to examinate the origins of stigma surrounding migraine, its impact on patients, and their need for better understanding and support. The survey covers various topics such as patients’ ease in sharing

In 2018 EMHA organised a survey among migraine patients working in 7 EU countries (Ireland, Italy, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain and United Kingdom.
The survey shed light on how women have to juggle between migraine attacks and work.

After launching The Migraine Movement Manifesto, from EMHA, we set the goal to inform the largest amount of European migraine sufferers about the existence of that movement, born with the aim of giving them visibility, answers and support.

We realized that the words we normally use to describe our relationship with migraine simply fall short to convey the true feeling behind. Words like “pain” or “horror”, commonly used to describe a migraine, ended up being generic adjectives that linked our disease to a simple headache.

The lack of medical training is the main barrier for an accurate diagnosis when a possible migraine patient first visits a doctor. In the world, only 4 hours of migraine are studied in medical training.

The objective of this study is to know the situation of migraine workers within the workplace and compare the situation in the different participating countries.
European survey.

Being informed is the first step to be more protected. From EMHA we have created with great commitment the Together Talks, a series of European talks with neurologists that focus on how COVID19 affects the life of migraine patients.

The Migraine Movement is a recently created project that aims to reach all people who suffer from this condition, directly and indirectly, to try to join forces in order to change the perception our society has of migraine.
