Migraine and headache
The Bandolier migraine site contains stories from Bandolier , plus abstracts of systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or other studies about migraine. We are able to do this because of generous sponsorship from the
Gwen Bush Foundation, and from an unconditional educational grant from Merck, Sharp and Dohme Ltd .
Bandolier is also establishing
LINKSto Internet sites on migraine that people are likely to find useful. There are also the
10 steps to control your headachefrom the USA, with links to many US sites.
