Migraine research study by Mayo Clinic:  Help Defeat Migraines by participating in Mayo Clinic's Migraine Genomic Library Research. Do you experience migraine headaches? Or are you one of those lucky people whose entire immediate family has been spared from headaches? Either way, Mayo Clinic researchers would love your participation in our study examining the genetic causes of migraines.

2. Review and sign a consent form. (about 3 minutes)
3. Complete a questionnaire about headaches and your general health. For case subjects (you have migraine) about 20-30 minutes; for control subjects, about 5 minutes.
