§ 32. Mr. HeathTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what his policy is on the treatment of migrainous headaches and migraine. [26392]
§ Mr. HuttonWe would expect that patients suffering from migrainous headaches and migraine would normally be treated by their general practitioner in the first instance. If this failed to resolve the problem then patients could be referred to a consultant neurologist for further investigation and tests.
The National Research Register is a database of on-going and recently completed research projects funded by, or of interest to, the United Kingdom's national health service. The current issue, Issue 4, 2001, shows that there are 17 on-going projects looking at migraine with another 56 recently completed.
