Migraine disability awareness campaign in Asia: migraine assessment for prophylaxis.
This study aimed to survey the headache diagnoses and consequences among outpatients attending neurological services in 8 Asian countries. ⋯ Migraine is the most common headache diagnosis in neurological services in Asia. The prevalence of migraine was higher in countries with higher referral rates of patients to neurological services. Migraine remains underdiagnosed and under-treated in this region even though a high disability was found in patients with migraine. Probable migraine was adopted into the migraine diagnostic spectrum by neurologists in this study.
