Migraines are a debilitating health condition that effects three millions Australians and 800 million people world-wide.

A trial is underway at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Camperdown, Sydney, looking at combinations of low dose medications to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.

As the sixth highest cause of disability world wide, currently just 20 per cent of people  take any form of preventative medicine.

If you suffer from chronic migraines and want to partake in the trial you can call 1800 397 371 or contact Alejandra Malavera at RPA Hospital at amalevera@georgeinstitute.org.au
