Migraine Experience Survey

If you have experienced migraine, you probably have a list of things you have tried to make one stop—some evidence-based, some traditional, and some that simply sounded worth trying at the time. This short survey explores how people recognize and treat migraine attacks, including conventional treatments, home remedies, and cannabis/cannabinoid products. Responses may be summarized in aggregate or, with your permission, quoted anonymously in future articles or a book chapter. Please do not include names or other identifying medical information.
