Clinical trials show progress in migraine frequency, skin cancer prevention

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Clinical research studies are aiming to shed new light on the treatment of migraines and skin cancer. One investigates the potential use of a heart device to reduce migraines, while the other seeks to determine the optimal excision size in melanoma treatment.

Dr. Nina Garlie, Vice President of Clinical Trials Research at Aurora Health Care joined us on Thursday, May 25 to discuss these studies.

As part of the National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month in June, Dr. Garlie discussed the link between a particular heart condition and the frequency of migraines.

Also, with the advent of summer and the increased need for skin protection, she also elaborated on a clinical trial addressing skin cancer treatment specifics.
