Según la Asociación Española de Pacientes con Cefalea (AEPAC), el 80% de la población sufre algún tipo de dolor de cabeza. Entre todas estas cefaleas primarias está la migraña, lo que supone una situación de total incapacidad para llevar vida normal, profesional, social y en algunos casos incluso familiar. Esta enfermedad puede llegar a condicionar totalmente el tipo de vida de una persona. Por su parte, la Asociación Europea de Cefaleas quiere asegurarse, con el aumento de la cronificación de la migraña, de que los intereses de los pacientes estén representados en el momento en que los nuevos tratamientos estén disponibles en el mercado y de que los pacientes estén bien informados. "Nos encontramos frente a una nueva era con interesantes investigaciones en nuevos tratamientos. Tenemos la esperanza de que se va a mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas afectadas por la migraña y otras cefaleas", ha afirmado Elena Ruiz de la Torre, presidenta de la European Headache Alliance (EHA), who has been very concerned about the constant increase in the number of people living with chronic headaches (more than 15 days a month) and the increasing and high number of children who suffer from migraine - also chronically ( 1 in 10) - in many cases as a consequence of inappropriate self-medication, which can lead to headache due to drug abuse.
