I can provide you with some general information about migraines and headaches in Australia based on the knowledge available up until my last update in September 2021.
Migraines and headaches are common health issues worldwide, and Australia is no exception. Here are a few statistics related to migraines and headaches in Australia:
- Prevalence: Migraines affect approximately 12-15% of the Australian population, with women being more prone to migraines than men. Tension-type headaches are even more prevalent, affecting up to 75% of the population at some point in their lives.
- Impact on productivity: Migraines and headaches can significantly impact an individual’s productivity and quality of life. It is estimated that migraines alone cost the Australian economy over $35 billion annually due to direct and indirect costs.
- Doctor visits: Migraine and headache sufferers often seek medical advice and treatment. In Australia, it is estimated that over 5 million people consult a healthcare professional for their headaches each year.
- Medication use: Over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, are commonly used to manage migraines and headaches. However, frequent and excessive use of these medications can lead to medication overuse headaches, which can worsen the condition.
- Access to specialized care: Some individuals with migraines or chronic headaches may require specialized care from headache clinics or neurologists. However, access to specialized headache services may be limited in certain regions of Australia, leading to challenges in receiving optimal care.
It’s important to note that these statistics may have changed since my last update, and for the most up-to-date and accurate information, it’s recommended to refer to reliable sources such as government health websites, medical journals, or research organizations that provide recent data on migraines and headaches in Australia.
