Prevalence and Burden of Migraine in Switzerland: Cross-Sectional Study in ten Specialised Headache Centres from the BECOME Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is limited real-world evidence on the burden of migraine among patients with prior preventive treatment failure (PPTF). In the BECOME Swiss subanalysis, we aimed to assess current prevalence of PPTF in patients with migraine seen at specialised headache centres in Switzerland and burden of migraine in these patients. Furthermore, we assessed this burden in subgroups stratified by monthly migraine days (MMDs) and number of PPTFs.

Methods

BECOME was a prospective, multicentre, non-interventional two-part study conducted in 17 countries across Europe and Israel. This subanalysis includes patients visiting ten headache specialist centres in Switzerland. In part 1, patients visiting the centres over 3 months were screened by physicians for frequency of PPTF, MM
