Burden of headache in the African Region
Africa is large and diverse. Little has been known until recently of the burden of headache anywhere in this Region. Population-based studies are needed in at least one each of the countries in East, West and South sub-Saharan Africa.
An epidemiological study has been completed and is in analysis in Zambia, another is underway in Ethiopia and a third is being considered in Senegal.
