“…It is possible that for some young adults, coping with these life transitions impacts physical and psychological processes that increase their susceptibility to TTH. This idea is supported by findings showing that compared to healthy controls, individuals with TTH display higher levels of perceived stress and deficient problem-solving skills [46,50]. Although the observed variation between our prevalence rates and those of the Danish epidemiologic study by Lyngberg and colleagues (2005) [7] may to some extent reflect methodological differences, recent work suggests that prevalence rates of TTH are influenced by culture and degree of urbanization [40].…”

Background: Tension-type headache is the most prevalent primary headache type worldwide and is associated with a wide spectrum of disability. Although progress has been made in understanding the complex mechanisms that lead to the pathogenesis of tension-type headache, to date there are no clear-cut markers of what makes tension-type headache unique. Due to a relative lack of research (compared to migraine), the pathophysiology of tension-type headache is not well understood and there are gaps in the epidemiological data, particularly from Australasia.

“…In the literature there are few data about PM. Katsarava et al reported in the Republic of Georgia a 9.2% PM prevalence (18), while a recent Spanish study reported a 4.2% estimate (19), as well as several studies conducted in the USA (20)(21)(22). Additional data published in 2002 from the American Migraine Study II (23) indicate a PM prevalence of 2.6% (20), while the American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention Study reported a 4.5% prevalence (3.9% in men and 5.1% in women) (22).…”

The PACE study: Past-year prevalence of migraine in Parma’s adult general population

Background: In the literature there are few data about the prevalence of primary headaches, including migraine, in the Italian general population. The PACE study (PArma CEfalea, or 'Headache in Parma') is an observational study aimed at detecting the prevalence and clinical features of primary headaches in the city of Parma's adult general population. Materials and methods: A total of 904 subjects representative of Parma's adult general population were interviewed faceto-face by a physician from the Parma Headache Centre. They were given a specially designed and validated questionnaire for the diagnosis of primary headaches according to the ICHD-II criteria. Results: Past-year adjusted prevalence of definite migraine, including migraine with and without aura and chronic migraine, was 24.7% (95% CI 21.9 to 27.5); 13% (95% CI 9.7 to 16.4) were men and 32.9% (95% CI 28.8 to 37.0) were women. Past-year prevalence of probable migraine was 5.1% (95% CI 3.6 to 6.5): 5.2% (95% CI 3.0 to 7.4) in men and 5% (95% CI 3.1 to 6.9) in women. Conclusions: The high prevalence of definite migraine is the major difference between our results and the literature data. Such a difference in results may be due to the use of a different investigational approach compared with the other epidemiological studies. However, an actual higher frequency of migraine in the Italian general population cannot be excluded given the lack of studies on this topic.

“…Сопоставление данных исследования, прове-денного ранее в других регионах России [8,11], с нашими данными показало, что наши пациенты, страдающие мигре-нью, обращались за медицинской помощью в 2 раза чаще (54 и 25% соответственно), а страдающие ГБН -практически с той же частотой (12,5 и 9,5%). Наши данные соответствуют результатам большинства европейских исследований [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Однако в Европе, Англии и Америке пациенты с ГБ чаще всего обращаются к терапевтам и врачам общей практи-ки, а наши пациенты -к неврологам.…”
