Migraine Trail Is A Step Through Time, UK

The Museum of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) is launching the
Migraine Trail to raise awareness of the condition during Migraine Awareness Week from 2-8
September 2007.



One in eight people suffer from migraines and the Migraine Awareness Week seeks to
increase public awareness of this debilitating neurological condition. Supported by the
Migraine Action Association, the trail will lead visitors around the RPSGB Museum displays,
highlighting objects that relate to migraine and the history of its treatment.



Briony Hudson, Keeper of the Museum's Collections at the RPSGB, said: "Migraine is one of
the oldest recorded ailments and the Trail will explore treatments administered through the
ages ranging from trepanning (the drilling of holes in the skull to release pain-causing demons)
to the ingestion of herbal medicine and intravenous injection. We hope that this will be the first
of a number of similar trails to mark future health awareness weeks."



The Migraine Trail is open to the public from 9 - 5 pm Monday to Friday. Guided tours,
incorporating additional displays are available on Tuesdays at 2 or 4pm. Please contact the
Museum office on 020 7572 2210 for more information.
