There are hopes for new treatments as researchers discover key markers in blood associated with migraines.
Professor Dale Nyholt from the Queensland University of Technology Centre for Genomics and Personalised Health is hoping the findings will result in better therapies after discovering three overlapping markers in blood readings of migraine sufferers.
Migraines affect three times as many women as men, with Professor Nyholt saying “Despite migraines being very prevalent and having a large cost to society, it's really underfunded”.
