Migraine, la fin du casse-tête? on France 5, Digi Mart USA News: France 5 will devote its evening on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 9:05 p.m. to migraine, a disease that the publisher says is still too often trivialized.
The program, titled “Migraine : la fin du casse-tête ?”, is part of the health magazine “Enquête de santé.”
The broadcast includes an original documentary by Adélie Floch, followed by a debate hosted by Marina Carrère d’Encausse with the participation of Enora Malagré. The source says the aim is to help viewers better understand what people living with migraine experience and the hopes raised by new treatments.
According to the source, a migraine attack can disrupt an entire day, forcing people to cancel plans, stop work, and seek silence and darkness. Pain can be accompanied by nausea and heightened sensitivity to noise and light.
Without effective treatment, some attacks can last up to 72 hours.
The documentary features Gwenaëlle, a former nurse whose life was profoundly disrupted by the illness, and Tahar, an engineer who faces difficulties caused by urban noise and light. Pauline and Sandrine describe their long search for a suitable therapeutic solution.
The source also notes that the program examines research into the mechanisms of migraine and treatments targeting CGRP, a peptide involved in migraine pain. These approaches open therapeutic possibilities, although the source states they do not mean the disease has been definitively defeated.
After the 52-minute documentary, a public debate will feature neurologist Solène De Gaalon, general practitioner Vladimir Druel, and Professor Serge Perrot, a pain specialist at Cochin Hospital. The program will also be available for streaming and replay on france.tv.
