Headaches and migraines are common conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. They can be debilitating, affecting your ability to work, socialise and enjoy your daily activities.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost half of the adult population has experienced a headache at least once within the past year.
Migraines are less common than headaches but still affect a significant number of people. According to the Migraine Research Foundation, migraines affect approximately 12% of the population, which translates to more than 1 billion people worldwide.
