Firms urged to act on migraine in workplace

A NATIONAL campaign to get employers to adopt a more pro-active approach in tackling migraine in the workplace is being launched later this month.

There are around 200,000 migraine sufferers in the workplace and migraine attacks are responsible for the loss of at least half a million working days every year.

The Migraine Association of Ireland, which is launching the week-long campaign on Monday, September 13, next, points out that even minor and inexpensive adjustments in the workplace can have a dramatic effect.
