About migraine
Migraine is a distinct neurological disease that remains under-recognized and under-treated with more than 50% of people going undiagnosed. It involves recurrent attacks of moderate to severe head pain that is typically pulsating, often unilateral and associated with nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light, sound and odors. There is no single test to definitively diagnose migraine and although the causes and triggers of migraine are not fully understood, Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP), a molecule that binds to the CGRP receptor complex, has been long thought to play a role in its underlying mechanisms.
