这项研究是奥地利第一次全国范围内的偏头痛调查。以全国随机抽样的方式，对997名15岁以上的奥地利人进行了个人(面对面)访谈。偏头痛的诊断是基于国际头痛协会(IHS)的分类。在奥地利成年人中，10.2%的人患有IHS偏头痛，5.6%的人患有无先兆的偏头痛，2.3%的人患有有先兆的偏头痛，2.3%的人患有交界性偏头痛。另有8.5%的人可能患有偏头痛。30.7%的患者报告了其他原发头痛。性别、年龄、工作状况和地区是主要的人口学影响因素。进一步的影响是压力、脊柱问题或天气变化。急诊用药以非处方药为主，就诊率很低。患有偏头痛的工作人员每年失业14天，每年总计680万个工作日。这仍然是一个重要的经济因素。研究结果表明，奥地利的偏头痛患者需要更多地了解自己的疾病以及如何应对，特别是鼓励他们去看医生。
This study presents the first nation-wide survey of migraine in Austria. A sample of 997 Austrian greater than or equal to 15 years old were interviewed personally (face-to-face) in a random sample in the whole country. Diagnosis of migraine was based on the International Headache Society (IHS) classification. Of the Austrian adult population 10.2% were identified to suffer from IHS migraine, 5.6% from migraine without aura, 2.3% from migraine with aura and 2.3% from borderline migraine. Another 8.5% have possible migraine. Other primary headaches were reported in 30.7%. Sex, age, working status and region were found to be the main demographic influencing factors. Further influences were stress, spinal column problems or weather changes. The most used acute medications were over-the-counter drugs, doctor attendance rate was very low. Working people with migraine dropped out of work 14 days per year, which adds up to 6.8 million working days per year. This remains a substantial economic factor. The findings indicate that migraine sufferers in Austria need to be more informed about their illness and what to do against it, especially encouraging doctor visits.
