In a recent study, a majority of doctor-and-patient pairs came away from their conversations with a different understanding of what was discussed.2 We want to make doctor-patient communication more effective by helping people find the right words to understand each other.

How disabling is migraine?

Globally, migraine is one of the leading causes of years lived with disability. In fact, migraine is ranked in the top 10 worldwide, based on the 2016 global burden of disease study.

In a recent study, 74% of respondents reported that migraine in some way affected their ability to function at work or school. When you consider the ways migraine—and dread of the next attack—can impact you, silence is no longer an option.
