A plain language summary of a population-based survey on Americans with frequent migraines and their use of acute medications
This Plain Language Summary of publication article (PLSP) from Pain Management summarises the Harris Poll Migraine Report Card, which surveyed U.S. adults from December 2021 to January 2022 about their experiences with frequent headaches and migraine. Participants had headaches or migraines at least 8 days a month and used acute medication for relief on 10 or more days per month. This summary focuses on respondents who experienced frequent headaches and medication use at the time of the survey. While “headaches” can refer to various types, all participants screened positive for migraines, meaning many reported headaches were likely part of a migraine attack.
