Migraine Canada has created a comprehensive digital Patient Education Resource Kit designed to empower both healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients. This all-in-one guide covers essential topics to help educate patients about their treatment options and the non-pharmacological management of migraine.
The resource kit provides detailed information on both preventive and acute treatment strategies, along with practical lifestyle management recommendations. To make access even easier, Migraine Canada offers a convenient poster version with a QR code, perfect for display in clinics. Patients and HCPs can simply scan the QR code to instantly access the full digital guide!
