Epidemiology and Burden of Headache*
نویسنده
چکیده
Studying the epidemiology and impact of headache can help improve patient care, estimate the burden of disease, and refine classification systems. This article reviews the results of several epidemiological studies on headache and migraine. In resolving and overcoming barriers to care, disability is a key factor and a cost driver. Although treatment guidelines are an important step for creating a standard for diagnosis and treatment, it is especially important to take a systematic approach to reduce the burden of migraine and related headache disorders.
