It’s the only book to present the newest science on migraine headaches as well as offer a comprehensive program to treat them—and will change the lives of migraine sufferers forever.

Thirty million Americans get migraines, often with excruciating headache pain. Dr. Carolyn Bernstein, a migraine sufferer herself, explains that certain unique chemical and structural differences in “the migraine brain” and central nervous system cause the many symptoms associated with migraines.

Readers learn their own patterns and triggers and how to prevent, abort, and stop migraines.
