MIGRAINES
Migraines, different to mere headaches, is a chronic illness which ruins the lives of all those who suffer from them. It is estimated that around 7% of the current population in France suffers from migraines.

Women and Migraines
Are MIGRAINES specifically a problem for women? A study shows that 18% of the population suffering from this illness are Women compared to 6% of men. The principal factor for this difference is due to the hormonal fluctuation experienced by women during their menstrual cycle. However, the illness can be seen to greatly improve in tha latter six months of a pregnancy. It has also been reported that the menopause considerably diminishes the occurance of migraines.

Curing Migraines
Most MIGRAINE sufferers rarely consult their doctors, believeing that there is no treatment available for them. However, there currently exists a very wide range of treatments, adapted to each type of migraine, which relieves the migraines of 60% to 80% of patients. In order for this to happen, a precise evaluation of the patient is sufficient. A general practitionner can diagnose the type of migraine and corresponding treatment.
