Neuromodulation devices offer a drug-free way to treat and prevent migraine by stimulating nerves or brain pathways involved in pain. In this Migraine World Summit session, headache specialist Dr. Stewart Tepper explains how neuromodulation works, compares six FDA-cleared devices, discusses safety and effectiveness, and outlines which patients may benefit most from these emerging migraine technologies.

Behavioral therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation training, and biofeedback can significantly reduce migraine frequency and severity. In this Migraine World Summit session, psychologist Dr. Paul R. Martin explains how behavioral strategies reshape stress responses, improve trigger management, and help break the vicious cycle of migraine—often reducing headaches by more than 50%.

For many people with migraine, perfumes, cleaning products, and other everyday scents can trigger attacks. Neurologist Dr. Gudrun Gossrau explains how volatile organic compounds (VOCs) interact with the trigeminal nerve and brain pathways involved in migraine. This session explores osmophobia, scent-triggered migraines, the role of neuroplasticity, and practical strategies for managing chemical and odor sensitivities.

Why isn’t there a cure for migraine or other headache disorders despite millions of people suffering worldwide? Science journalist and cluster headache patient Tom Zeller Jr. explores the surprising gaps in research, funding, and medical education that have slowed progress. This Migraine World Summit session examines the history of headache science, why the condition has been overlooked, and the emerging treatments that are finally bringing hope.

Small daily habits can play a powerful role in migraine management. In this Migraine World Summit session, Dr. Rebecca Erwin Wells explains how sustainable lifestyle strategies—such as sleep consistency, stress regulation, nutrition, movement, and self-compassion—can strengthen the brain’s resilience to migraine attacks. Instead of perfection, the focus is on small, realistic changes that support long-term health and help reduce migraine frequency and severity.

Being told you’re “out of options” for migraine treatment can feel devastating—but it may not be the end of the road. In this Migraine World Summit session, neurologist Dr. Lauren Natbony explains why treatment-resistant migraine is complex and why new strategies, layered treatments, and integrative approaches may still provide relief. Even when therapies fail, evolving science and personalized care offer renewed hope for people living with chronic migraine.

Migraine research is advancing rapidly, bringing new hope for better treatments. In this Migraine World Summit session, leading researcher Dr. Messoud Ashina explains how CGRP medications transformed migraine care and what comes next. Emerging targets like PACAP, amylin, and adrenomedullin could lead to entirely new drug classes, expanding options for people who don’t respond to current therapies and moving migraine treatment into a new era.

Migraine can cause far more than head pain. In this Migraine World Summit session, neurologist Dr. Jessica Ailani explains the wide range of unusual migraine symptoms, including brain fog, phantom smells, fatigue, sensory sensitivity, and body pain. Understanding how migraine affects the entire nervous system can help patients recognize symptoms earlier, avoid confusion with triggers, and seek appropriate treatment when needed.

Migraine research is moving toward more targeted, personalized care, with new discoveries in genetics, inflammation, imaging, hormones, and innovative treatments.

Artificial intelligence is helping researchers analyze migraine triggers, treatment responses, and patient data in ways that may lead to more personalized migraine care.

Researchers are increasingly studying how inflammation, digestion, and the gut microbiome may influence migraine activity through the gut-brain connection.

Emerging research suggests that narrow-band green light may be less aggravating to migraine sufferers and could even help reduce pain intensity in some patients.

New migraine research has identified CGRP as a key driver of migraine pain, leading to targeted treatments that are changing how many patients manage chronic migraine.

Chronic migraines affect millions of people worldwide, significantly impacting their quality of life.
