Participate in Research

As someone living with headache or migraine we invite you to participate in research.

Migraine & Headache Australia is often approached by Australian Universities and research institutions to help them find volunteers for their research.  Current projects are listed below. Please contact the researchers directly if you are interested. Migraine & Headache Australia does not administer the research on their behalf.

Thank you for your interest in offering to help advance the knowledge, management or treatment of migraine and chronic headache by volunteering for research projects.

Not enough research is being done into migraine and chronic headache and being able to access patients to participate in research is important. That is one reason why the National Headache Register has been created, so that more funds can go into research rather than the cost of identifying participants to study.

If you are not on the Headache Register, please do join and ask any other sufferers you know to do so as well. There are additional benefits from being on the register. One of the most important is that you will hear about any new medications or treatments as soon as they become available.
