The Migraine Research Institute is the Research and Development arm of The Headache Clinic. A great deal of new information concerning migraine and other chronic headaches becomes available every year, but this information is often confined to medical journals, and is not routinely made available to the media. Many of the exciting advances in migraine and headache treatment have originated with the migraine and headache research team at The Headache Clinic -particularly in the field of non-drug migraine and headache treatment modalities. It is the policy of the Migraine Research Institute to make this information, as well as information from other sources, published in the medical literature, easily available to the media.
