igraines are a serious problem. They affect more than 10 percent of Americans, with women accounting for three-quarters of the total. They have a significant impact on sufferers' quality of life, and the costs for medicine and lost work total about $5 billion a year.
The news about migraines isn't entirely bad, though. Several new treatments are reducing the frequency and severity of these headaches in many people, while others are relieving pain once a headache begins.
James Hollandsworth, M.D., of Kingston will focus on these new treatments during a brown bag lunch program on Wednesday, July 28. It's sponsored by the Women's Center of Methodist Medical Center and begins at 12 noon in the Kingston Community Center.
Dr. Hollandsworth, who is associated with Kingston Family Practice, is a member of the Methodist Medical Center staff. He earned his medical degree from the West Virginia University School of Medicine at Morgantown and is board certified in family practice.
Women's Center brown bag lunch programs are free to the public. Bring your lunch and a beverage. For more information, call Flavia Getty at (865) 481-1828.
