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 the global burden of migraines, with prevalent cases reaching 1.158 billion in 2021, a 58% rise since 1990. High Socio-demographic Index (SDI) areas exhibited the highest age-standardized rates for incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), with trends indicating potential for improvement. The study emphasizes the need for targeted migraine interventions to support the World Health Organization's Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in middle SDI regions.
