Overview
The prevalence of cluster headache is approximately 3 to 150 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.*Worldwide Prevalence of patient with secondary headache is approximately 18%. The prevalence of Migraine headache is estimated to be 12 to 15 percent of general population.The prevalence of frequent episodic tension type headache is 21.6 percent.Patients of all age groups may develop headache.Cluster headache commonly affects individuals between 20 to 40years of age.Cluster headache usually affects women of the Aferican -American and Caucasians.women are more commonly affected by migraine than men. Men are more commonly affected by cluster than women. The male to female ratio is approximately 2.5 to 1.
