🧠 If you suffer from chronic migraine, finding the right treatment is crucial. A new study, funded by us, has looked back at trials on preventive drugs finding that: 📅 all drugs tested reduced the number of days people had headaches and migraine attacks 💊 newer drugs (for instance, eptinezumab and erenumab) were more effective than traditional ones (such as topiramate) 💸 traditional drugs were cheaper but had more adverse events than newer ones. Sam, who suffers from migraines, said: "It is frustrating that people must try so many options – and take so long – before being prescribed something with more chance of working. But it’s heartening to see a trial that evaluates the available drugs." The findings add to existing knowledge about which preventive treatments are most effective for people with chronic migraine.

Up to 1 in 4 people in the UK has excess fat in their liver. The condition – non-alcoholic fatty liver disease – is a common cause of liver disease and is linked to developing type 2 diabetes. The NHS spends around £10 billion per year (10% of its budget) treating the 3.9 million adults with type 2 diabetes. Reducing liver fat can prevent people from developing type 2 diabetes but they need effective ways to make changes. Supported by a £750,000 Senior Research Fellowship award, metabolic specialist Professor Mike Trenell, developed a digital behaviour change platform for people with type 2 diabetes, excess weight or liver disease. This platform now underpins the service used across England to empower NHS patients with diabetes to take control of their health.
