.@IASPpain: Migraine #pain is "accounted for" by migraine.
My colleague Dr @NitaGhei & I direct @headsUPmigraine. Could you direct us to your rationale for classifying #migraine & #cluster as "chronic primary pain characterized by disability or emotional distress"?

Researchers can study #migraine in genetically altered mice because it's a physical disease, not "emotional distress."
In fact, migraine is caused by genetic mutations in the brain & is both an "anatomically specific pain state" & "a paroxysmal disorder of pan-sensory gain."

#Migraine is the #1 cause of working-age disability worldwide. WHO uses objective metrics to determine disease burden. Severe migraine ranks in the highest category alongside terminal-stage cancer.
There's no debate: migraine is a profoundly disabling disease. @headsUPmigraine
