在埃塞俄比亚一个人口为25万的农村地区，对5500名成年人（大于或等于20岁）进行了慢性头痛研究。由经过培训的非专业卫生工作者使用具有高度信度和效度的问卷进行上门调查。偏头痛的1年患病率为3.0%（女性为4.2%，男性为1.7%），在40岁时达到高峰。在任何年代，偏头痛在女性中的发生率都是男性的三倍。三分之二的偏头痛患者经常发作。最常见的触发因素是情绪压力（90%），天气变化（78%），身体疲惫（75%）和气味（70%）。先兆偏头痛很少见。一级亲属中偏头痛的家庭发生率为30%。慢性紧张型头痛的1年患病率为1.7%。与类似的调查相比，尼日利亚农村人偏头痛的患病率低于尼日利亚非洲人。
Fiffeen-thousand-five-hundred adults (greater than or equal to 20 years) in a rural district in Ethiopia with a population of 250 000 were studied for chronic headache. Door-to-door survey was performed hy trained lay health workers using a questionnaire with a high degree or reliability and validity. The 1-year prevalence of migraine headache was 3.0% (4.2% for females and 1.7% for males) with the peak age specific rate in the fourth decade. Migraine headache was about three times more common in females than in males at any decade. Two-thirds of migraine sufferers had rather frequent attacks. The most frequent trigger factors were emotional stress (90%), changes of weather (78%), physical exhaustion (75%), and smell (70%). Migraine with aura was rare. Family occurrence of migraine in first-degree relatives was 30%. The 1-year prevalence of chronic tension-type headache was 1.7% rare. Compared to similarly performed surveys, the prevalence of migraine among rural Ethiopians was less than among Nigerian Africans.
