Abstract:
The stigma of migraine, despite an impressive body of data on the epidemiological of migraine and the associated disability, burden and cost of migraine to patients, has not been fully evaluated as an important factor in the chronicization of the disease and social isolation of the patient. In this commentary, we present three points of view. From the point of view of a European advocacy body active in the field of migraine medicine, actions to improve the perception of migraine within the community regarding the stigma for people with migraine are presented at the personal, relational and occupational levels. From the point of view of a clinician who is an expert on migraine, proposals are made for treatment and rehabilitation paths specifically dedicated to the reintegration of these individuals into social contexts.
