🌍 Did you know that two-thirds of adults worldwide experience headache each year? A new global analysis provides the most reliable estimates yet of the prevalence of these conditions.⁠

🔬 Researchers combined data from 17 countries across all world regions, using standardized diagnostic methods to assess the prevalence of migraine, tension-type headache (TTH), and medication-overuse headache (MOH) among individuals aged 18-65.⁠

💡 What they found:⁠
🌍 65% of adults reported headache within the past year
⚡ 1 in 4 people experience migraine
😣 1 in 3 live with tension-type headache
💊 4% experience probable medication-overuse headache⁠
⁠
🙍‍♀️ Women were more likely than men to experience migraine and MOH, while headache overall was more common in higher-income countries.⁠

🧠 These updated estimates underscore just how widespread and disabling headache disorders are—and the importance of continued global research and advocacy.⁠
