Breaking news today – Treatment To Prevent Migraines Boosts Work Productivity

The title alone gets a big – Well, yeah.

But the leading paragraph is pure “Ya think!” gold:

For workers with migraines, taking a daily medication to prevent headache attacks can reduce lost productive time on the job, reports a study in the March Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, official publication of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM).

So, if I get this right, not having a migraine in the middle of the work day makes your total productivity for the day go up.  Wow!  Who would have thunk it?  Seriously, I understand how medical research scientists can feel pressured to justify their existence and income by producing studies, but is this really their best effort?
