Read article →Most people have had a tension headache. Migraine is different — profoundly so. Here's how to tell them apart, and why the distinction changes what treatment looks like.
Read article →Migraine was once thought to be a vascular problem. Three decades of research have rewritten that story — here's what actually happens in the brain before, during, and after an attack.

Read article →For the roughly thirty percent of people with migraine who experience aura, that first episode can be frightening. Here's what's actually happening in the brain — and how to tell it apart from more serious causes.
Read article →Chronic migraine remains widely misunderstood and routinely undertreated. Here's how it's defined, how it's diagnosed, and what treatment options actually exist.
Read article →Most people who live with migraines develop an uncomfortable relationship with the sky. New research confirms what patients have long reported — and the findings go deeper than most weather apps will ever show you.
Read article →The appointment you waited months for can end in guesswork — not because the neurologist isn't capable, but because the data they need doesn't exist yet. Here's how to change that.
