Research Summary
A study published in Front Public Health highlights the growing burden of migraine among children and adolescents from 1990 to 2021, with future trends predicted until 2035. Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study, researchers analyzed migraine patterns in 5-19-year-olds across 204 countries. The findings reveal a significant 24.17% rise in global migraine cases, with low-middle Sociodemographic Index regions facing the heaviest burden, reporting three times more cases than high SDI regions. Females show higher prevalence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) than males. Despite projected global declines, adolescents aged 15-19 may still face high disease burdens. The study underscores the need for targeted healthcare resource allocation, enhanced diagnostic capacity, and standardized treatment in low-income regions to mitigate this global issue.
