In order to spread the word about migraine headaches, a pharmaceutical company has created a unique karuta called "Henzutsu Karuta" and posted it on its website.
Migraine headaches are characterized by sudden headache attacks or repeated attacks, but it is difficult to understand the surroundings because the pain is difficult to see.
Under these circumstances, a pharmaceutical company in Kobe City created "Henzutsu Karuta" with the cooperation of doctors, in order to let them know about symptoms and pain through karuta and to lead to a correct understanding.
For example,
▽ "Hi" reading card says "I can't open my eyes because the light is dazzling."
▽ "O" introduces various symptoms
such as "becoming sensitive to sound", not just headaches.
"Henzutsu Karuta" is published on the homepage of the pharmaceutical company "Eli Lilly Japan" and can be downloaded for free.
Ms. Mitsunori Yamagata, a spokeswoman for Eli Lilly Japan, said, "I hope that Karuta will help people understand more about migraines so that they don't have to worry about migraines alone."
