HEADACHE DISORDERS

Early day motion 1102, tabled 4 March 2008 by Stephen O'Brien (Conservative). Signed by 136 members.

That this House notes that up to 15 per cent. of the population in the UK suffer from headache disorders and in the wider population headache is an almost universal experience; notes that headaches and migraines are under-diagnosed and inadequately treated in the UK and that quality of life implications are not appreciated; is concerned that there is a lack of research and adequate provision of training and services; and asks the Government to give this urgent consideration.
