Dealing with chronic migraine can be absolutely exhausting, and it's completely understandable to feel like you want to give up when the pain is relentless. Please remember that you are not alone in this struggle, and your feelings are valid.

The challenge now is moving robust AI models from the lab bench into validated, clinically relevant decision support tools that address issues of data heterogeneity and maintain explainability (XAI).

It’s the time of year that some of us will be going to carol services, concerts and music venues for parties and celebrations. Migraine Ireland got a query recently from a supporter who wanted some tips on going to a concert while living with chronic migraine.

November 20th is Universal Children’s day

Headache is generally not part of migraine in children, until they reach puberty, so the symptoms most children exhibit are stomach ache, nausea, vomiting and sometimes dizziness.
