Abstract
AbstractHeadache is an exceedingly prevalent disorder, affecting every age group and both genders. Numerous documents from the ancient and modern times highlight the burden of this disorder on different aspects of health, welfare, social, psychological and economics. Countless papers exist on pathophysiology, aetiology, epidemiology, clinical forms and treatment of different types of headache. The diagnostic criteria of headache are subject to a long and uninterrupted evolution and reorganisation culminating to the updated International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (IHCD-3), which tends to clarify and order the clinical complex symptoms of different headache types.On the other hand, migration of population with different purposes including better economic life, finding peace, escaping wars and poverty is evidenced during all the human history. Unfortunately, migration continues to be an important, serious and impressive worldwide situation. Migrating people, mainly the refugees, given their very poor health care, economic, hygienic and psychologic conditions, have even the misfortune to suffer to a greater extent from different diseases and disorders compared to established populations.This chapter attempts to find any relation and influence of migration on headache, based on the main epidemiological studies worldwide.KeywordsHeadacheMigrationPrevalenceTriggerRefugeeSocioeconomic status
