Research Summary
A recent study published in Front Neurology examines the global and regional burden of migraines from 1990 to 2021, revealing a significant increase in migraine cases and related disability. Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, researchers found that the global number of prevalent migraine cases in 2021 was 1.158 billion, with notable percentage increases since 1990. The study highlights that areas with higher Socio-demographic Index (SDI) had the highest rates of incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to migraines. These findings underline the need for customized interventions to manage migraines, crucial for achieving World Health Organization's Sustainable Development Goals.
