Migraine pain and symptoms affect 18% of women and 8% of men and is the most common form of disabling headache that sends patients to see their GP.

Bit of a mixed message there..think it is still really too soon to say..plus as they state if you have exhausted all other treatment options and know some suffers have had it help them..then it's a bit of a no brainer.

Even having read the whole thing I would still take a punt on it.
