Background: Migraine (MIG) is a common cause of headache and a leading cause of morbidity in Turkey but comprehensive and comparative data evaluating its burden are scarce. The study aimed to describe clinical characteristics and management of MIG and compare MIG with tension type headache (TTH) regarding the burden of disease and healthcare resource utilization. Methods: A total of 1368 patients (aged 18-65 years) with MIG or TTH were surveyed regarding patients’ sociodemographics, headache characteristics, clinical management, burden of disease, quality of life and healthcare resource utilization within the previous 12 months. Data from 1053 patients with definite MIG (dMIG) (n: 924; 87.7%) or definite TTH (dTTH) (n: 129; 12.3%) criteria were analyzed.Results: The frequency and duration of attacks, the number of monthly headache days and of days with analgesic consumption and the severity of headaches were higher in dMIG than in dTTH (p:0.005 for the frequency of attacks and p14 days). Only 222 (36.8%) of definite migraineurs who experienced ≥4 monthly headache days were on preventive treatment. Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) scores were higher in dMIG than in dTTH (24.7±40 vs 10.6±12; pp:0.016) but the number of physician visits were higher in dMIG (3.5 ±5 vs 1.7 ± 1; p pConclusions: It is crucial to timely and correctly diagnosing and optimally managing MIG due to its significant burden. Educational programmes for patients and healthcare providers, adherence and persistence to preventive medications may improve clinical outcomes. |
