Migraine Burden Rises: Global Trends & China's Surge 1990-2021

Research Summary

A study published in Frontiers in Neurology examines the increasing burden of migraine in China and globally from 1990 to 2021, utilizing data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease study. Researchers analyzed trends using indicators such as incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), revealing that the number of migraine cases has significantly increased, with China showing greater rises in age-standardized rates compared to the global average. The burden is particularly high among adolescents, young adults, and females. Health inequality analysis shows a growing disparity linked to the socio-demographic index. Predictions suggest continued increases in China, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.
