Data from the REFORM trial (NCT04674020) provide valuable insights into cortical inflammation in adults with migraines, using a novel quantitative, multimodal MRI technique to compare these patients with age- and gender-matched healthy controls, enhancing our understanding of migraine biology and other headache disorders. The discussion also covers cluster headaches, focusing on a study that examines premonitory symptoms in affected individuals and highlights key phenotypic characteristics. Additionally, we explore findings from the European Migraine & Headache Alliance on the stigma surrounding migraines, which yield insightful and actionable results. Looking ahead, the focus shifts to the latest data on new medications for preventing and treating migraine attacks, discussing future prospects and identifying areas in headache disorder management that still need further attention.
