  • Approximately 6% of men and 18% of women in the US currently suffer from migraine headaches

  • People suffering from migraines require approximately 112 million bedridden days per year
  • Migraines cost American employers approximately $13 billion each year in missed work days and impaired work function
  • Patients aged 30 to 49 incurred higher direct medical costs due to migraine care than those not suffering from migraines… about $100 more per diagnosed patient mainly due to physician office visits (60%) and prescription drugs (30%)
  • People suffering from migraines reported an average of 35 migraine attacks per year
