Migraine Awareness Week 2026 runs from 21-27 September
Migraine is often misunderstood, downplayed and stigmatised.
People with migraine often hear, “it’s just a headache, it can’t be that bad,”
In reality, migraine can impact every aspect of life, from education to family life, career opportunities to life experiences.
Join us this Migraine Awareness Week to reach more people, and change the perception of migraine, by getting involved. Migraine Awareness Week - The Migraine Trust

32% of people without migraine admit there has been a time when they didn't believe someone when they said they had a migraine attack.
