Why this site exists
People with migraine are some of the most targeted patients online. This is where the claims get checked.
Migraine is common, disabling and often undertreated. That combination makes it a target. Every week there's a new reel promising a cure, a course that works every time, a test that finds the root cause, or a surgery that's settled science.
Most people with migraine don't have the time, the training or the journal access to check those claims, especially in the middle of a migraine attack. So we do it for them, and we show our work.
Who writes it
Migraine Truth is written by someone in medical training with a background in neuroscience research, who has spent years reading the headache literature and talking with people living with migraine.
Investigations are reviewed against the sources listed on each page before they go up. If you think we got something wrong, our corrections policy explains what to do.
What it isn't
This isn't a medical practice and it isn't medical advice. It's also not anti-anyone. Plenty of chiropractors, dietitians, coaches and surgeons do careful, honest work. The pieces here are about specific public claims and whether the evidence supports them.
