“…In Fallahzadeh et al study, 26.5% of migraineurs and 4% of patients with TTH did not refer to the doctor for treatment of their headaches [26]. Also, in a study conducted in Spain found that one third of migraineurs did not refer to the doctor for diagnosis of migraine [10]. Design of present study in form of cross-sectional and self-reporting was limiting factor.…”

“…Several studies have estimated the prevalence of migraine and TTH based on the criteria of the IHS. The prevalence of migraine have been reported in studies done in Iran and different countries such as Germany (10.6%), Spain (12.6%), and Brazil (22.1%); hospital staff of Shiraz in Iran (11.2%) [9][10][11][12]. Also, the prevalence of TTH reported in other studies such as Brazil (22.9%) and hospital staff (19.5%), teachers (24%) and students of Shiraz (32%) [11][12][13][14].…”

Background: Migraine and Tension-Type Headache (TTH) are the most frequent neurologic disabilities worldwide. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of migraine and tension-type headache among up to 15 years old. Patients and Methods: A descriptive-analytic study was conducted on 500 people in Yazd through cluster sampling method. International Headache Society criteria were used for diagnosis of migraine and tension headaches. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression in SPSS 16 were used for data analysis. Results: Migraine and TTH prevalence were respectively 6% and 4.9%. Abnormal sleep patterns were in 66.7% of people with migraine that this relationship was significant. The incidence of nausea and vomiting during migraine were respectively 55.6% and 40.7%. Photophobia in 55.9% and phonophobia in 85.2% of patient with migraine were reported. All of 48.1% of migraine sufferers have attacks with visual aura (P = 0.012) and also 48.1% have attacks with sensory aura. Conclusions: Migraine and TTH prevalence rate is relatively low in this study. However, people with migraine and TTH should be identified and optimally treated.

“…With this in mind, researchers conducting community studies have debated the use of different strategies, whether face-to-face, mail based, or web based [1]. Potential methods for collecting specific information [2] range from door-to-door studies, used in research on low-prevalence diseases, to those conducted using traditional mail, telephone [3], the Internet [4, 5], interactive voice response (IVR) [6, 7], computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) [8, 9], or combinations of the above methods [10–13]. In any case, the method delivering the highest RR would be considered the most efficient and appropriate.…”

Descriptive epidemiology research involves collecting data from large numbers of subjects. Obtaining these data requires approaches designed to achieve maximum participation or response rates among respondents possessing the desired information. We analyze participation and response rates in a population-based epidemiological study though a telephone survey and identify factors implicated in consenting to participate. Rates found exceeded those reported in the literature and they were higher for afternoon calls than for morning calls. Women and subjects older than 40 years were the most likely to answer the telephone. The study identified geographical differences, with higher RRs in districts in southern Spain that are not considered urbanized. This information may be helpful for designing more efficient community epidemiology projects.

“…The Ferrante et al (2012) study reports a prevalence of 0.2% (0.0% for men and 0.4% for women) for (ICHD-2) chronic migraine, possibly on the low side compared to earlier studies using these restrictive criteria (6,21). The definition and hence epidemiology of very frequent headache/chronic migraine has of course evolved over the last 20 years or so.…”

“…Might the prevalence of migraine in Italy vary by geographical region? For example, a nationwide, population-based study of migraine in Spain showed an overall migraine prevalence of 12.6% but significant geographical variation (> twofold) was reported, from 7.6% in Navarra to 18% in the Canary Islands (6).…”
