At the annual meeting of the American Headache Society (AHS) researchers presented a new study that revealed a gender difference in migraine. Men are less likely to receive adequate treatment compared to woman.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Study<\/h2>\n

The study <\/a>included 16,789 participants with migraine, 12,495 women and 4,294 men. Migraine was diagnosed according to the modified International Classification of Headache Disorders.<\/p>\n

The Results<\/h2>\n

Men with migraine are less likely to see a doctor (29% vs 31%)<\/p>\n

Men with migraine who consult a doctor are less likely to receive the right diagnosis (60% vs 78%)<\/p>\n

Men with migraine are less likely to receive the right treatment (24% vs 28%)<\/p>\n

The Conclusion<\/h2>\n

\u201cMigraine is common in men, and may be less treated and less recognized by physicians,\u201d the authors of the study say.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis may be editorializing, but the perception that migraine is a women’s disease may contribute to migraine stigma and deny men access to diagnosis and treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe perception that migraine is a women’s disease may be a barrier to getting diagnosed and treated.\u201d<\/p>\n
