Migraines & Headaches: Far more common than previously thought
Hello
We always knew headaches affect woman more than men, how badly they affect work performance and how disabling they are.
However we thought we knew how common they are,this article proves us wrong, and not in a good way.
We have recently found this article that has completelychanged our understanding of how common headaches and migraines are.
“A new review of the evidence suggests 52% of the global population are affected by a headache disorder every year, with 14% reporting migraines. The review is published in The Journal of Headache and Pain.”
“The authors estimate that 52% of the global population have experienced a headache disorder within a given year, with 14% reporting a migraine, 26% reporting a tension-type headache and 4.6% reporting a headache for 15 or more days per month.”
“15.8% of the world’s population have a headache on any given day, and almost half of those individuals report a migraine (7%).”
“We found that the prevalence of headache disorders remains high worldwide and the burden of different types may impact many.”
“Compared to our previous report and global estimates, the data does suggest that headaches and migraines rates may be increasing.”
With headaches becoming more common and over time, they will become more severe if not fixed, do want to stay a statistic?
OR do you want to try something different?
