Need a Headache Doctor or

Looking for a Second Opinion?

WE CAN HELP!

We've just updated our 3 proprietary lists to help sufferers find the care they need:

Our list of certified headache doctors includes only those doctors who have been certified by the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties, an independent professional medical organization that certifies competency in doctors who have passed a special headache exam and participated in a certified fellowship program or completed a practice track.

Our list of children's headache doctors includes doctors who specialize in treating kids with headache up to age 18.

Our list of comprehensive headache centers includes multi-disciplinary centers that use a collaborative approach to headache treatment and are experienced in the care of complex or difficult-to-treat headache conditions.

Our lists are organized by city and state so you can find help where you need it. We've also included the phone number to call to make an appointment and the age of the patients the doctor will see.

With our help, you can find the expert care that's right for you.

Dear Grayson:

Thank you for your interest in the Migraine Research Foundation. We’re a nonprofit that raises money to fund cutting-edge migraine research to discover the causes, improve treatments, and find a cure for this devastating disease. Migraine affects 1 in 4 families, 1 in 10 school-age kids, and 39 million Americans. It’s the sixth most disabling disease in the world.

Despite its prevalence and major impact on families, business, and society, we still don’t understand much about migraine. The only real hope for sufferers lies in more and better research.

We help sufferers through the research we fund and the information we provide on our website, including lists of headache specialists, doctors who treat kids with migraine, and comprehensive headache centers so you can find expert help nearby.

All of our operating expenses are covered, so 100% of every donation goes directly to fund research.

We’ve added you to our mailing list so you can receive important research alerts and news about MRF grants and initiatives. Please visit our website at MigraineResearchFoundation.org for migraine information, doctor lists, and resources. Join our Facebook group and follow us on Twitter for even more information..

Welcome to the MRF community!

Targeting TRPA1 Channels for New Migraine Drugs

Dr. Pierangelo Geppetti of the University of Florence in Italy recently completed his research project on targeting TRPA1 channels for novel migraine drugs. There is a huge unmet need for effective, safe and reliable migraine treatments that have minimal side effects. In his study, Dr. Geppetti identified two compounds that demonstrated anti-migraine therapeutic potential.

TRPA1 plays a critical role in migraine. It is activated by a series of pain-provoking agents that are responsible for the release of CGRP, which has been shown to trigger a migraine attack in many people. Dr. Geppetti looked for agents that could inhibit or desensitize the TRPA1 channel. He found two that were very potent and prevented the production of undesired metabolites that are thought to be responsible for serious side effects.

There's an urgent need for more information about the underlying mechanisms of migraine so that better treatments can be found. Dr. Geppetti's research will provide a foundation for further analysis of this mechanism of action and pave the way for future development of new anti-migraine drugs.

Learn more about Dr. Geppetti's findings.

This week we're all thinking about being thankful.

2019 has been a great year for MRF. We announced two ground-breaking MRF Impact Awards on New Therapeutic Targets for the Treatment of Migraine - and we added new insights to the understanding of migraine as researchers started and completed their projects. By year end, 98 researchers in 12 countries will have received MRF grants to search for the causes and improve the treatments of migraine.

We couldn't have done any of this without you!

You help and inspire us - as donors, researchers, advocates, doctors, and educators. We're very grateful for your support!

Thank you for being part of the MRF family. We wish you and yours a wonderful holiday.

Warm regards,

Cathy Glaser, Executive Director

We've just awarded new research grants!

Our researchers are committed to discovering the causes, improving the treatments, and finding a cure for migraine. We've now supported 98 researchers in 12 countries. They're working hard to help you or someone you know.

Our new grants are funding research that will:

Conduct a genetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA in extended families with many sufferers of migraine with aura to identify causal variants and new genes and pathways that contribute to overall migraine pathogenesis. Lyn Griffiths, PhD (Australia), Grantee. This grant is generously underwritten by the Association of Migraine Disorders.

Examine the specific mechanisms involved in the development of latent sensitization and its prevention by the selective activation of peripheral cannabinoid receptors to understand the neural dynamics underlying migraine and medication overuse headache. Igor Spigelman, PhD (UCLA), Grantee.

Determine the efficacy and safety of purified CBD:THC combinations in mice with migraine-like symptoms to provide pre-clinical evidence for the development of migraine medications. Anne-Sophie Wattiez, PhD (University of Iowa), Grantee.

We fund research that will help sufferers by

advancing the understanding and treatment of migraine.

Our researchers are adding to the understanding and treatment of migraine.

There's an urgent need for more information about the underlying causes and triggers of migraine so that better treatments can be found. Recently, Dr. Anna Andreou of King's College London and Dr. Suzanne Bertisch of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston completed their research grants.

Dr. Andreou developed BiTox, a next-gen Botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) molecule, for the preventive treatment of chronic migraine. She found that BiTox lacks the paralytic effects of the frequently used BoNT/A and showed significant anti-migraine actions in the trigeminovascular system. Her research provides a foundation for the development of a new migraine-specific treatment for chronic migraine.

Dr. Bertisch's research sought to identify whether the brightness of light and its different wavelengths can trigger migraine attacks and influence migraine pain in episodic migraine sufferers. She found that higher average light exposure during the daytime was associated with a higher risk of migraine onset, but could not determine why. Whether devices that block light or specific wavelengths of light can reduce migraine occurrence is still unclear. More research is needed so that light interventions that prevent attacks can be found. The Association of Migraine Disorders provided the funding for Dr. Bertisch's grant.

Targeting the Calcium Channel for New Migraine Drugs

Dr. Jos� Fern�ndez-Fern�ndez of the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain recently completed his research project on targeting the calcium channel for novel migraine drugs. There is a huge unmet need for effective, safe and reliable migraine treatments that have minimal side effects. In his study, Dr. Fern�ndez-Fern�ndez identified 2 molecules that demonstrated anti-hemiplegic migraine therapeutic potential.

Calcium channel mutations play a critical role in hemiplegic migraine and possibly migraine in general. These mutations can enhance the excitatory function which triggers the headache. In an earlier MRF grant, Dr. Fern�ndez-Fern�ndez looked for agents that could selectively inhibit or desensitize the hyper-excitability caused by the mutations in this channel and identified 6 new molecules. In this MRF grant, he tested these novel inhibitors and found two that modulated the calcium channel activity and reduced the production of undesired side effects.

There's an urgent need for more information about the underlying mechanisms of migraine so that better treatments can be found. Dr. Fern�ndez-Fern�ndez' research will provide a foundation for further analysis of this mechanism of action and pave the way for future development of new anti-migraine drugs.
