Migraine is one of the main causes of years lived with disability (YLDs) worldwide, as showed in the Global Burden of Diseases Study. Its influence on patients' life is relevant and pervasive, with a specific impact on social, family, and work functioning, considering that migraine mainly affects adults under the age of 50. Several studies demonstrated that relations inside the family as well as in every social context are negatively influenced by migraine. According to the results of studies and surveys from different countries, patients' daily activities are often limited during migraine attacks, particularly in terms of performance in social and domestic activities and in terms of reduced productivity in work and school duties. Also an interictal burden is present. Migraineurs are conditioned by the fear of the next attack, often suffer from comorbid conditions such as anxiety and depression, and are subject to different forms of stigma. Consequently, migraine implies relevant costs for the individuals and for society, with higher figures for indirect costs (related to reduced participation and to limited productivity) than indirect costs (related to drugs, medical visits, examinations, and hospitalization).
