What EMHA can do for patients.
People who deal with migraine are strong. We are strong because there is no other way to live with this disease.
We know not everyone perceives us like this. To them, we may look like weak people, perhaps they think we like to complain about everything and to overreact to everything as well. We could look like obstacles in our workplace, to our employers and coworkers. We have felt misunderstood thousands of times, even by our close peers.
Migraine is not just a headache.
Headache disorders are not perceived by the public as serious since they are mostly episodic, do not cause death, and are not contagious.
The low consultation rates in developed countries may indicate that many affected people are unaware that effective treatments exist and even half of the people with headache disorders are estimated to be self-treating.
That is why spreading quality information on migraine is key to raising awareness on this underrated illness.
Together nothing can stop us, not even a migraine.

Stigma survey 2023
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
Women at work
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.
The Migraine Assistant
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.
Explaining Migraine
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 Missing Lesson
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.
