Profiling the real-world migraine patient: public health insights from sociodemographic, lifestyle, and clinical data in the Italian National Migraine Registry (I-GRAINE).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although migraine attacks have been precisely characterized over the years - with significant advances in pathophysiology and treatment - the comprehensive identity of the migraine patient remains poorly defined. Real-world data capturing the full sociodemographic and clinical spectrum of individuals with migraine is still limited. The Italian National Migraine Registry (I-GRAINE) was established to address this gap by systematically collecting data on individuals with migraine across Italy's public healthcare system.

Methods

I-GRAINE is an ongoing, nationwide, multicenter, prospective registry involving 43 publicly funded headache centers. Since 19/04/2021, patients diagnosed with episodic migraine (EM) or chronic migraine (CM) have been systematically enrolled.
