The Cannizzaro Company has joined the national initiative on migraine by sharing the objectives of the Onda campaign for correct information on the pathology, its clinical characteristics, its existential impact and the importance of a correct and timely diagnosis. It represents, in fact, the third most frequent pathology and the second most disabling; it affects about 12% of adults worldwide with a three times higher prevalence in women: six million Italians suffer from it, four of which are women. Hence the proposal of the Day in the field of Gender Medicine activities.
