Migraines affect between 10 and 20% of the adult population, with a predominance of women (three women for one man).
Characterized by multiple symptoms, including severe pain, migraines can occur with varying frequency and sometimes last for several days.
Today, in the world, only a minority of people with migraine benefit from an adapted diagnosis.
