Do you know June is Migraine #Awareness Month? #Migraine is an invisible disability, with sufferers losing an average of 10 workdays/year, leading to significant economic impact. Join us in raising awareness and advocating for a better understanding of patients with migraine.

Congrats to all the 2024 Ezell fellows. Thrilled to see Rehana & Samrat from @UNSWoptomvsci!

Gepants are an important new therapeutic option for the treatment of acute migraine attacks, particularly in patients in whom triptans are ineffective, not tolerated or contraindicated. sagepub.pulse.ly/ptybrmhhrd #headache #migraine #neurology @arne_may

Check out this article featuring @MMarkoulli and how the eye could offer insights into MS. Multiple sclerosis is on the rise in Australia, but it’s not all bad news. UNSW medical researchers are advancing the science of multiple sclerosis detection and treatment. unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/…

"There is misconception that MS is not treatable or that universally it causes a lot of disability, all of which may have been true at one point, but it’s treatable now and the levels of disability caused are far less with early treatment," says UNSW Professor Arun Krishnan.

A growing number of Australians have multiple sclerosis, the most common neurological cause of disability affecting young adults. But the severity of symptoms has declined for many as treatments improve. Learn more about the disease this #WorldMSDay: unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/…

Prof Krishnan, a neurologist, and Assistant Prof. @MMarkoulli, an optometrist, are conducting studies to develop a new way of monitoring inflammation in MS patients, via the eye, to help better establish whether treatment is effective and how the disease is progressing.
