Abstract

Headache disorders are a public health priority as they are associated with significant disability and psychosocial impairment worldwide [64, 83]. Migraine is currently recognized as one of the major causes of lost days from work and school every year, and it is also responsible for severe lifestyle restrictions [84, 85]. Twice as common as tension-type headache, migraine is the most frequent primary headache and accounts for 22 % of all headache diagnoses, whereas other unspecified headache types may be observed in 18 % of cases [84, 85].
