摘要

To determine the level and types of medication used to treat headache in the general population and to compare this with current recommendations,Cross-sectional survey to an adult general population sample. A questionnaire gathered information on occurrence, characteristics of, and medication use for headaches in the previous three months,Patients aged 18 years and over registered with five general practices in North Staffordshire, England.The response rate was 56%. Eighty-five per cent of headache sufferers (60% of all questionnaire respondents) reported using medication for their headaches in the three months prior to the survey, Medication use was more likely to be reported by women, respondents aged 36 to 50 years, those reporting more painful and more disabling headaches, those experiencing at least five associated symptoms, and those whose untreated headaches lasted 4 to 24 hours, Paracetamol was by far the most widely used medication, with 74% of medication users taking it in the three-month period. Fifty-eight per cent of acute medication users took only one single therapy for their headaches. Only a small number of medication users (3%) took their headache medication before the pain began, with most (63%) taking it when the pain started and the remainder waiting until the pain was unbearable. Half of medication users (47%) reported that the medication completely relieved their headache, 51% obtained partial relief and 2% did not obtain relief.Medication use for headache appears to be appropriate for most patients, Although only a minority used combination therapy, the high prevalence of headache means that this translates to substantial numbers in the population as a whole. Some headache sufferers might benefit from advice to make better use of the treatments available.
