Headache disorders are among the leading causes of disability worldwide.

They impact concentration, sleep, mood, and overall brain health. But with awareness, early and proper treatment, and support, people with headache disorders can still have optimal brain health.

Let’s promote brain health, starting with headache care.

The pain associated with a headache can be intense, disabling, and invisible to everyone else. What may look like someone "being lazy," "making excuses," or "overreacting" is often someone doing their best to function through severe pain. A person with a headache disorder may be struggling to work, study, care for their family, or simply get through the day.

Instead of saying, "It's only a headache," offer support.

Let's replace stigma with support and create headache-friendly spaces.

Migraine is more than “just a headache”, it is a brain disorder that impacts work, family, and daily life. Its effective management requires early diagnosis and initiation of effective treatment. In Africa, migraine management is challenged by a critical shortage of headache-trained healthcare professionals. Join the African Headache Network in advancing the treatment of headache disorders like migraines.

Your daily habits and your migraine are more connected than you think. Migraine attacks don’t just “happen”. Sometimes it’s because of the skipped lunch. The dehydration you didn’t notice. The high stress.

Small habits can have a big impact on the frequency and severity of your migraines. Do you know your migraine triggers? Identify your migraine triggers and you’ll take back some control of your migraine attacks.

Over-the-counter medicine (medicines bought without a doctor's prescription) from the drug shop may reduce the pain of your migraines, but they can delay proper diagnosis and treatment. Poorly treated migraines can make life more difficult.

Effective treatment for migraines exist in hospitals. See a doctor for the right diagnosis and treatment plan.
