On Monday 27 May, on the occasion of the H-Open Day on migraines, one of the most frequent and disabling chronic pathologies in the world, the Complex Neurology Structure of the Northern Area of the Modena Local Health Authority responded to the invitation made by the Foundation Wave to hospitals with the Pink Sticker like the Ramazzini of Carpi proposing an information initiative to citizens. Doctor Mario Santangelodirector of Neurology, will be available for telephone interviews: citizens can contact him on 331 4016586, from 9 am to 4 pm, for any questions regarding this important disorder.
Migraine is a chronic disease that affects approximately 12% of adults worldwide, with a prevalence three times higher in women. According to the World Health Organization, it represents the third most frequent disease in the world and the second most disabling, thus entailing a very high human, social and economic cost. Despite the clear epidemiological data, migraine is still perceived by those who suffer from it as “invisible”. The aim of this initiative is to raise awareness among the population of the importance of early recognition of symptoms, and therefore timely access to specific diagnosis and treatment paths for a better quality of life for patients.
