About this event
- Date and time Tue 1 Dec 2020 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm
- Location Online
- Organised by Clinical Neurosciences
Migraines are common and more complex than commonly assumed - affecting up to 1 in 5 women and 1 in 8 men - additionally day to day life interactions and life stage can make them difficult to manage. In this webinar patient impact aspects such as cognition, fatigue, and sleep will be explored, and treatments at different stages of women's lives discussed.
Whilst much is well controlled with migraines it remains a cause of much poor health, lost productivity and medical resource use, much of this could be ameliorated. Neurologists see patients with unusual forms of this common disorder and also find that women - especially if pregnant or peri-menopausal may be undertreated through caution. This talk aims to discuss these finer points of migraine.
Webinar topics include:
- Non-pain aspects of migraine impacting on patients cognition and ability to function in daily life and wellbeing
- How sleep interacts with headache and vice versa
- How to manage medications in women at different life stages, including during pregnancy and in the peri- and post-menopause.
