Abstract
Tension-type headache (TTH) and migraine are very common: the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2010 (GBD2010) found them to be the second and third most prevalent disorders in the world, after dental caries [1]. Prevalence of disease, however, is not on its own a signal of disease impact, and it is certainly not a measure of it. Impact is made by the loss of health that disease in one or more ways imposes on people, a loss commonly referred to as “burden”. It is the purpose of this monograph to say something about the burden attributable to headache disorders.
