Migraine Prevalence, Treatment and Impact: The Canadian Women and Migraine Study
Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 08/23/2010
Cooke LJ et al. – The prevalence of migraine in Canadian women appears static, and is again shown to be slightly higher than that reported in the United States. As in other epidemiologic studies, many women with migraine do not seek medical help for their headaches and perhaps as a result, few are using migraine–specific medications to treat their headaches. The impact of migraine on Canadian women is substantial with almost all women with migraine reporting adverse psychosocial effects of migraines on their lives.
