Headache is a very common complaint in communities. Primary headache disorders are not only among the commonest disorders in the world but also among the most burdensome, causing considerable morbidity and loss of productivity.1 The Global burden of disease study 2010 (GBD2010) reported tension type headache (TTH) and migraine to be the 2nd and 3rd most prevalent disorders worldwide, but migraine far outweighs TTH as a cause of disability.2 The Global burden disease study 2013 (GBD2013) found migraine to be the 6th highest cause worldwide in terms of years lost due to disability (YLD).
