Abstract

This report contains the main results of a quantitative re-search aimed at testing, through the administration of mul-tiple-level questionnaires- patients (n = 2500) and physi-cians (n = 100)- a simple tool for detecting the individual perception of recurrence and the severity of the symptom of headaches and how it is dealt with in terms of drug use and the use of appropriate reference health structures (general practitionera and headache centers). The ultimate goal of the project is to develop a tool that is an aid for the enhance-ment at all levels-from the pharmacist to the doctor-of the ability to intercept, sensitize and orient to a correct man-agement of migraine and headache. The survey has been carried out in Italy, April-June 2017.
