~4 million Australians live with migraine.
Yet our new paper found just ONE NHMRC/MRFF-funded headache clinical trial from 2013–2025, and NONE for migraine or tension-type headache.

New in Cephalalgia Reports!
Headache disorders are a leading cause of disability, yet publicly funded headache clinical trials in Australia are remarkably scarce. This new paper highlights the gap and the opportunity for change.
Article highlights
•
No funded clinical trials were identified for migraine or tension-type headache, despite their substantial burden.
•
A review of NHMRC and MRFF funding in Australia identified only one funded headache disorder clinical trial since 2013, focused on cluster headache.
•
Increased investment in headache clinical trials, workforce development, and national research infrastructure could help accelerate evidence generation and improve patient outcomes.
