Lars Jacob Stovner,Knut Hagen,Rigmor Jensen,Zaza Katsarava,Richard B. Lipton,Ann I. Scher,Timothy J. Steiner,John-Anker Zwart +7 more
TL;DR: The calculations indicate that the disability attributable to tension-type headache is larger worldwide than that due to migraine, which would bring headache disorders into the 10 most disabling conditions for the two genders, and into the five most disabling for women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kjetil Bjornevik,Marianna Cortese,Brian C. Healy,Jens Kuhle,Michael J. Mina,Yumei Leng,Stephen J. Elledge,David W. Niebuhr,Ann I. Scher,Kassandra L. Munger,Alberto Ascherio +10 more
TL;DR: It is determined that Epstein-Barr virus infection greatly increased the risk of subsequent multiple sclerosis and that it preceded the development of disease, supporting its potential role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute migraine medications and evolution from episodic to chronic migraine: a longitudinal population-based study
Marcelo E. Bigal,Daniel Serrano,Dawn C. Buse,Ann I. Scher,Walter F. Stewart,Richard B. Lipton +5 more
TL;DR: Although symptomatic medication overuse is believed to play a major role in progression from episodic to chronic or transformed migraine (TM), population‐based longitudinal data on these agents are limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors associated with the onset and remission of chronic daily headache in a population-based study
TL;DR: Factors that predict CDH onset or remission in an adult population are described and a better prognosis was associated with higher education, non‐white race, being married, and with diagnosed diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of frequent headache in a population sample.
TL;DR: The first US‐based study describing the prevalence and characteristics of frequent headache in the general population is presented, in what is believed to be a first in the US.
