Nature Outlook 

Headache

A headache can be much more than a passing annoyance. For people who experience migraines and cluster headaches, the pain and other symptoms can add up to a lifelong disability — one that the medical community has not done enough to address.

We are Lundbeck

Millions of people all over the world live with brain diseases. At Lundbeck, we focus exclusively on brain diseases and invest in research, so that we can discover and develop therapies that ease the burden for them.

When every other organ in our body gets sick, we find compassion and care. When our brain suffers, the world typically turns away. As a global specialist, we owe it to those who live with brain diseases to fight stigma and promote better treatment.

For more than 70 years, we’ve been pushing the boundaries of neuroscience. By combining the logic of science with our passion for making a difference to patients, we’ve pioneered important and commonly used therapies.

Today, we’re 5,800 people in more than 50 countries. We build on our Danish heritage, fostering a culture of collaboration and responsibility. Whether we work in labs or in the field, we all have the same aim: to develop innovative treatments that improve the lives of people living with brain diseases. We call this progress in mind. 

In the sponsor feature article, you can read about our motivation and current research for developing new treatments for headache disorders.
