Objective: To estimate rates of migraine progression and assess predictors of progression in a large, longitudinal cohort study using the traditional definition and two alternative definitions of migraine progression.
Background: Traditionally, migraine progression is defined as moving from episodic migraine (EM) with ≤ 14 monthly headache days (MHD) to chronic migraine (CM) with ≥ 15 MHDs of which 8 are attributable to migraine. This definition does not take into account changes in the full range of potential headache days, disability, or impact on function.
Background: Migraine is associated with various types of stigma. This study aims to evaluate stigmatizing attitudes towards people with migraine by people without active migraine.
Methods: OVERCOME (US) was a web survey among adults from a representative US population-based sample that collected information about stigmatizing attitudes of people without active migraine (i.
Background: Stigma is emerging as an important social contributor to migraine-related disability and other outcomes. Currently, there are no published validated measures of migraine-specific measures of stigma.
Objectives: This secondary post hoc analysis of a cross-sectional cohort study aimed to develop a questionnaire to evaluate migraine-related stigma.
Article Synopsis
- A significant number of individuals with migraines, 45.1%, hesitate to seek medical care, which could limit effective treatment and management of their condition.
- The OVERCOME (US) survey utilized machine learning and regression models to identify key factors influencing this hesitation, such as stigma and personal management efforts.
- Common reasons for not seeking help include a desire to self-manage migraines and beliefs that their headaches might not warrant professional attention.
Objective: Utilize machine learning models to identify factors associated with seeking medical care for migraine.
Background: Migraine is a leading cause of disability worldwide, yet many people with migraine do not seek medical care.
Methods: The web-based survey, ObserVational survey of the Epidemiology, tReatment and Care Of MigrainE (US), annually recruited demographically representative samples of the US adult population (2018-2020).
