How to use organization material¶
- Prefer it for service directories, public campaigns, accommodation resources and patient-priority framing.
- Use peer-reviewed or official regulatory sources for efficacy, diagnosis and safety claims.
- Record conflicts, sponsors and geographic health-system assumptions when using campaign material.
- Avoid treating membership narratives as prevalence estimates.
Dated verification notes¶
Headache Australia’s homepage returned HTTP 200 on 2026-10-20 and is now in the verified table; that closes the 2026-08-30 network-unreachable gap rather than documenting a new organization. The National Headache Foundation again returned an anti-bot 403. Migraine Ireland returned HTTP 403 on 2026-10-20 after HTTP 200 on 2026-08-30; the row stays as a public site with a fetch barrier, not as an inactivity claim. Six listed sites returned HTTP 200 on this check (AMF, Migraine Trust, Migraine Canada, EMHA at emhalliance.org, Migraine Australia, Headache Australia).
Missing coverage¶
This verified set is Anglophone/European-heavy. Future sweeps should prioritize independent organizations in Latin America, Africa, South and East Asia, and multilingual resources, using live checks and the same public-source boundary.
