偏头痛是一种非常常见的疾病，在西方国家影响约11%的成年人口。在25至55岁这一生育高峰期，发病率最高。在所有青春期后年龄段，女性的患病率均高于男性，但性别比例随年龄而变化。在美国，偏头痛的患病率在低收入或低教育程度的人群中较高，这可能是因为偏头痛干扰了工作和学习。大多数偏头痛患者马内的头痛没有常规的医疗建议，通常用非处方药治疗。偏头痛的间接费用大大超过治疗费用，为成本效益干预创造了机会。偏头痛的公共卫生负担是巨大的，由于其高患病率和突出的暂时性残疾。偏头痛引起的广泛残疾是治疗的重要目标。
Migraine is a very common disorder, affecting about 11% of adult populations in Western countries. Prevalence is highest during the peak productive years--between the ages of 25 and 55. The prevalence is higher in females than males at all post-pubertal ages, but the sex ratio varies with age. In the United States, migraine prevalence is higher in those with low income or education, perhaps because migraine interferes with work and school. Most migraineurs mane their headaches without conventional medical advice and generally treat their attacks with over-the-counter medication. The indirect costs of migraine greatly outweigh the cost of treatment, creating opportunities for cost-effective intervention. The public health burden of migraine is substantial due to its high prevalence and prominent temporary disability. The widespread disability produced by migraine is an important target for treatment.
