“Migraine is a serious, neurological, chronic condition that nonsufferers often view as only stress-related and easily treated. The reality is that it results in lost productivity and causes significant disruptions to migraine sufferers' work and personal lives,” says Larry Boress, MBGH president and CEO.
MBGH cites National Headache Foundation estimates that American companies lose $50 billion per year due to absenteeism, lost productivity and medical expenses caused by migraines.
