Headache disorders are very common, but their monetary costs in Europe unknown. We performed the first comprehensive estimation of how economic resources lost to headache Europe. From November 2008 August 2009, a cross-sectional survey was conducted eight countries representing 55% adult EU population. Participation rates varied between 11% and 59%. In total, 8412 questionnaires contributed this analysis. Using bottom-up methodology, we estimated direct (medications, outpatient health care,...
European data, at least from Western Europe, are relatively good on migraine prevalence but less sound for tension-type headache (TTH) and medication-overuse (MOH). Evidence impact of disorders is very limited. Eurolight was a data-gathering exercise primarily to inform health policy in the Union (EU). This manuscript reports personal impact. The study cross-sectional with modified cluster sampling. Surveys were conducted by structured questionnaire, including diagnostic questions based...
Despite advances in the management of headache disorders, some patients with migraine do not experience adequate pain relief acute and preventive treatments. It is aim present document to provide a definition those migraines which are difficult-to-treat, create awareness existence this group patients, help Healthcare Authorities understanding implications, basis develop better pathophysiological support further therapeutic advances.Definitions were established consensus process using Delphi...
Headache disorders and psychiatric are both common, while evidence, mostly pertaining to migraine, suggests they comorbid more often than might be expected by chance. There good reasons for establishing whether are: symptoms of illnesses may summate synergistically; comorbidities hinder management, negatively influencing outcomes; high-level comorbidity indicates that, where one disease occurs, the other should looked for. The Eurolight project gathered population-based data on these from...
Migraine is associated with many debilitating symptoms that affect daily functioning. My Voice a large global cross-sectional study aimed at understanding the full burden and impact of migraine directly from patients suffering ≥4 monthly days (MMDs) history prophylactic treatment failure.This was conducted worldwide (31 countries across North South Americas, Europe, Middle East Northern Africa, Asia-Pacific region) using an online survey administered to adults who reported MMDs in 3 months...
Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) Intersectoral Global Action Plan on Epilepsy and Other Neurological Disorders was developed by WHO to address the worldwide challenges gaps in provision of care services for people with epilepsy other neurological disorders ensure a comprehensive, coordinated response across sectors burden neurologic diseases promote brain health life-course. Headache constitute second most burdensome all after stroke, but first if young midlife adults are taken...
Most primary headaches are episodic, and most estimates of the heavy disability burden attributed to headache derive from epidemiological data focused on episodic subtypes migraine tension-type (TTH). These disorders give rise directly but intermittently symptom burden. Nevertheless, people with these may not be symptom-free between attacks. We analysed Eurolight dataset for interictal was a cross-sectional survey using modified cluster sampling adult population (18–65 years) in 10 countries...
Abstract Background New treatments are currently offering new opportunities and challenges in clinical management research the migraine field. There is need of homogenous criteria to identify candidates for treatment escalation as well reliable refractoriness treatment. To overcome those issues, European Headache Federation (EHF) issued a Consensus document propose approach difficult-to-treat patients standardized way. The proposed well-defined resistant (i.e., who do not respond some but...
In countries where headache services exist at all, their focus is usually on specialist (tertiary) care. This clinically and economically inappropriate: most disorders can effectively more efficiently (and lower cost) be treated in educationally supported primary At the same time, compartmentalizing divisions between primary, secondary tertiary care many health-care systems create multiple inefficiencies, confronting patients attempting to navigate these levels (the "patient journey") with...
There have been several calls for estimations of costs and consequences headache interventions to inform European public-health policies. In a previous paper, in the absence universally accepted methodology, we developed headache-type-specific analytical models be applied implementation structured services Europe as health-care solution headache. Here apply this methodology present findings.Data sources were published evidence expert opinions, including those from an earlier economic...
The stigma of migraine, despite an impressive body data on the epidemiological migraine and associated disability, burden cost to patients, has not been fully evaluated as important factor in chronicization disease social isolation patient. In this commentary, we present three points view. From point view a European advocacy active field medicine, actions improve perception within community regarding for people with are presented at personal, relational occupational levels. clinician who is...
The Eurolight project is the first at European Union level to assess impact of headache disorders, and also its scale performed by collaboration between professional lay organizations individuals. Here are reported methods developed for it. took form surveys, structured questionnaire, conducted in ten countries Europe which together represented 60% adult population Union. In Lithuania, survey was population-based. Elsewhere, truly population-based studies were impractical reasons cost,...
Migraine is a highly prevalent primary headache disorder and leading cause of disability. Difficulties in access to care during diagnostic therapeutic journey contribute the disease burden. Several target-specific drugs have reached market past four years modified treatment paradigm migraine. The aim this study provide an updated snapshot pathways hurdles for migraine different European countries by directly asking patients.In 2021 Headache Alliance proposed 39-item questionnaire that was...
Background Headache disorders comprise the three most prevalent medical globally and contribute almost 20% to total burden of neurologic illness. Although experience a recurrent headache disorder tends be highly individualized, patient preferences tend low priority in guidelines for management patients with headache. Methods In September 2017, first Global Patient Advocacy Summit was convened, bringing together patients, advocates, advocacy organizations, healthcare professionals,...
Health economic evaluations support health-care decision-making by providing information on the costs and consequences of health interventions. No universally accepted methodology exists for modelling effectiveness cost-effectiveness interventions designed to close treatment gaps headache disorders in countries Europe (or elsewhere). Our aim here, within European Brain Council's Value-of-Treatment project, was develop headache-type-specific analytical models be applied implementation...
There is an unmet need for a better understanding and management of headache, particularly migraine, beyond specialist centers, which may be facilitated using digital technology.The objective this study was to identify where, when, how people with headache migraine describe their symptoms the nonpharmaceutical medicinal treatments used as indicated on social media.Social media sources, including Twitter, web-based forums, blogs, YouTube, review sites, were searched predefined search string...
Abstract Background Surveys enquiring about burden of headache over a prior period time ( eg , 3 months) are subject to recall bias. To eliminate this as far possible, we focused on presence and impact the preceding day (“headache yesterday”). Methods Adults (18-65 years) were surveyed from general populations Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg Netherlands, work-force population in Spain mostly non-headache patient Austria, France UK. A study non-responders some countries allowed...

In animal families, parents are expected to adapt their offspring's traits, and offspring, in turn, the environment circumscribed by parents. However, whether such coevolutionary trajectories differ between closely related species is poorly understood. Here, we employ interspecific cross-fostering three of burying beetles, Nicrophorus orbicollis , pustulatus vespilloides test for divergent co-adaptation among with different degrees offspring dependency on parental care, they able...
