The Director of Active Citizenship Network has been invited to join an in-person EU workshop, in Brussels, to collaboratively create a European Migraine Action Plan, putting forward concrete and tangible policy recommendations to improve migraineurs’ lives.

The initiative brought together leaders from the European Migraine and Headache Alliance (EMHA), the European Brain Council (EBC), the European Federation of Neurological Associations (EFNA), the European Patients Forum (EPF), the Migraine Trust, Cittadinanzattiva-Active Citizenship Network (ACN), the European Institute of Women's Health (EIWH) Hoofdstuk and GAMIAN Europe.

For Cittadinanzattiva-ACN, the commitment on migraine is strictly linked with the  recent initiative “Colpo di testa” carried out in Italy and - more in general - with our long lasting commitment on chronic pain, as better  described in the article “The role of Patients’ Advocacy Groups to reduce headache pain in the European Union: from the Italian case history to the European Migraine Action Plan” published by the international peer-reviewed “Journal of Anesthesia & Pain Medicine”.
