Prof Peter Goadsby, Head of Headache Group at the Institute of Neurology, University College London

Professor Peter Goadsby, widely acknowledged as being at the very forefront of migraine research, spoke at this background briefing on questions including the causes of migraine, potential new drugs which may be used to treat it, and what other potential treatments may exist.
