Summary:Migraine is a major source of pain-related disability. Despite the personal and societal impact of this disorder, migraine continues to be misdiagnosed and undertreated even though well-established diagnostic criteria and safe and effective treatments are available.

Advancements in understanding the neurobiology of migraine will guide the development of new treatments.
