“…It has been shown in several studies that migraineurs suffer from a significant amount of disability as compared to other forms of headaches 3,4,13‐16 . This study corroborated with these earlier findings; however, few direct comparisons can be performed because of differences in definitions of indicators of disability used.…”

Migraine is the most common headache diagnosis in neurological services in Asia. The prevalence of migraine was higher in countries with higher referral rates of patients to neurological services. Migraine remains underdiagnosed and under-treated in this region even though a high disability was found in patients with migraine. Probable migraine was adopted into the migraine diagnostic spectrum by neurologists in this study.

“…The reduction in quality of life and work productivity due to migraine can be profound, with the intensity of pain being the most important of several factors. A Canadian study demonstrated that 77% of migraineurs have limitations of activity, 50% interrupt their activities and 30% must lie down during the attack [7,8]. …”

BackgroundThe objectives of this cross-sectional, observational study were to determine the prevalence of self-reported headache among the employees of the large Swiss university hospital, to measure the impact of headache using the MIDAS questionnaire, to assess current treatment and to estimate economic burden of headache considering indirect costs.MethodsA self-administered questionnaire was distributed internally to 2000 randomly selected employees of the University Hospital Zurich.Results1210 employees (60.5%) responded. Of the 1192 (98.5%) employees who provided sufficiently complete information, 723 (61%) reported at least one headache type in the last three months. The prevalence of migraine, and tension-type headache was 20% and 50%, respectively. Regarding the occupational groups, there was a trend that healthcare staff, administration employees, and medical technicians suffered more from headaches than physicians, correcting for age and sex. The economic consequences of lost productivity were calculated to amount to approximately 14 million Swiss Francs (9.5 million EUR), representing 3.2% of the overall annual expenditure of the hospital for personnel.ConclusionHeadache is highly prevalent among university hospital employees, with significant economic impact.

“…Education concerning headache remains perfunctory at best in undergraduate and most post-graduate teaching programmes of many medical university schools. This may represents one of the main causes of the several failures in headache control worldwide [9].…”
