Epidemiology and Socioeconomic Aspects of Migraine

Marina Titlić

Sažetak

According to the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD), migraine belongs to the group of primary headaches. According to existing research studies, about 15% of the population suffer from migraines, women significantly more than men: around 3:1. Migraines can be episodic and chronic. Chronic migraines are those that last 15 days or more. Only about 2% of patients suffer from chronic migraines. The socio-economic aspects of the migraine make up a significant part of the expenses incurred by both the patient and the wider society. These expenses may be divided into direct and indirect ones. Expenses incurred by patients suffering from chronic migraine are much greater than those suffering from episodic migraine, this ratio being 3:1.
