Abstract

Professor Michel D. Ferrari welcomed the delegates to what he anticipated would be a unique symposium, comprising traditional lectures and debate alongside interactive technology that would enable the audience to provide instantaneous feedback and participate in the discussion and diagnosis of several case histories. Prof. Ferrari told the audience that we are now in an exciting time, with new discoveries in the science of migraine increasing our understanding of how to manage the condition. “We now know that migraine is a brain disorder,” he said, “with neuropeptides playing an integral role in migraine pathophysiology.” He continued that it was hoped that advances in migraine science would result in new treatments using non-vascular mechanisms, methods to prevent migraine recurrence, and the use of genetic techniques to design more effective and well-tolerated preventive therapies
