Prevalence of Frequent Headache in a Population Sample

Purpose.—Patients with daily or near‐daily headaches are commonly seen in neurology practices and in headache subspecialty centers, but there is little information on the prevalence of this condition in the general population. We present the first US‐based study describing the prevalence and characteristics of frequent headache in the general population.
