Abstract
Headache disorders are the most common neurological complaints worldwide, among all primary headache- tension type is common followed by migraine. It occurs independently and Changes in nerve cell activity which create inflammatory chemicals which are responsible for causing head pain. The study aims to assess the various headache disorders among people aged under 50. To assess the prevalence of various headache disorders. To identify the common triggering factors in association with age, gender, social activities. A Cross-sectional observational study was carried out in Neurocare hospital for a period of six months. Patient detailed information is collected by using specially designed data collection form. Statistical tool was used to analyse the data. The 6 months prevalence of primary headache disorders among the population was 0.72% overall migraine was 32.2%, Tension type headache was 31.46%, Cluster headache was 14.04%, Unclassified headache was 21.91%. The study concludes that 39.8% of patients have a migraine disorder. Primary headache disorders are more common in South India. The results in our study indicates that female population is more prone for primary headache than male. However, prevalence rate was recorded in tension headache yet, it is still the most common headache type in rural area.
