Do you have regular migraine headaches? If so, you've got a lot of company.
Nearly 1 in every 3 people worldwide suffer from a headache disorder, affecting almost 3 billion people, researchers will report in the December issue of The Lancet Neurology.
It's especially bad for women, who experience more than double the lifetime headache-related health problems than men, researchers found.
"Women experience significantly higher levels of headache-related disability because they have headaches more frequently and for longer durations than men," investigator Yvonne Xu, a research scientist at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, said in a news release.
