Migraine Awareness: Essential GP Support and Tools for Effective Relief

Every day, around 70,000 people in the Netherlands endure severe migraines, retreating to darkened rooms to escape light and sound while waiting for the intense pain to subside.

Expert Help from Your GP
Many migraine sufferers hesitate to consult their general practitioner, yet GPs offer proven strategies for relief. During Migraine Week, running until September 7, GPs, pharmacies, and drugstores are providing enhanced information and resources.

Practical Tools for Management
Start with the migraine test to confirm if your headaches are true migraines or another type. Pharmacies also offer a migraine diary to log attacks over several months, helping identify patterns for targeted prevention and treatment.
