Even though the World Health Organization recognizes the disabling impact of migraines, there is still work to do in order to change perceptions and shape adapted work environments. Reviewing some studies on the consequences of migraines in one’s professional life, Dr. Leroux discusses challenges and solutions with patient advocate Maya Carvalho.

As they share ways to improve migraineurs’ well-being in the workplace, from managing common triggers to diversifying insurance plans, they also discuss the uttermost importance of education and awareness among employers and coworkers.
