Focus on Migraine & Patient Education
Migraine is more than just a headache — it is a neurological condition that can significantly impact daily life. Dr. Xu founded Migraine Wiki as a way to:
- Provide reliable, evidence-based information that patients and families can trust
- Summarize findings from the latest clinical trials and guidelines in plain language
- Create practical tools such as downloadable handouts, treatment trackers, and discussion guides for doctor visits
His vision is to empower people living with migraine by giving them the knowledge they need to make informed decisions, while helping clinicians save time and improve care through ready-to-use resources.
