Child migraine research goes forward

More good news about funding toward migraine research comes out of the UK.  £20 million is being put toward an initiative to focus on children’s medicine.  With migraine, as with many other diseases that children and adults get, the children tend to be an afterthought.  This worked for adults, let’s see if it works for kids too.  But this new initiative will focus on medicine specifically for children.  This will include medicine for children’s migraine.
