25: A Heads-Up on Migraines

Nine out of ten people report a lifetime history of head pain and 2012 has been designated the Global Year Against Headache by the International Association of the Study of Pain. Paul Evans finds out more about migraines from Dr Giles Elrington of the National Migraine Centre in London. We also hear from people who live with chronic migraine about their experiences, what triggers their episodes and the treatments they’ve tried, and Heather Sim tells us the steps to take to get referred to a migraine clinic.In this programme: Dr Giles Elrington, Medical Director, National Migraine Centre, London Heather Sim, Chief Executive of The National Migraine Centre Patients including: Keri Bucholz, Emma Williams and Chris Whitehouse. #AbleRadio #AiringPain #PainConcern
