Research Summary
A recent study published in Frontiers in Neurology examines the global and regional burden of migraines from 1990 to 2021, using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. The research highlights a significant increase in migraine cases, with 1.158 billion prevalent cases in 2021—up 58% since 1990. The study found the highest incidence and prevalence rates in regions with high Socio-demographic Index (SDI) scores. The age-standardized disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates also rose globally, particularly in middle SDI regions. Highlighting the growing migraine burden, the study underscores the need for tailored interventions to meet World Health Organization Sustainable Development Goals.
