Just a little food for thought... not all stats are current as we are not the subject of much research, but they still tell a story
0.1% of the population have cluster
headaches
21% of patients are given the correct diagnosis at
their 1st appointment
5 years is the average time between onset of
symptoms and diagnosis
10-15% of Cluster
headache patients are chronic suffers
6 men to each woman who are living with cluster
headaches
4 hours of undergraduate medical education is
given to ALL headache disorders (worldwide average)
22%-55% of chronic
suffers report suicidal ideation (depending on what research you look at).
100% oxygen at a high flow rate is needed to treat
Cluster headache attacks
20% of Cluster headache sufferers in the US
reported losing a job as a result of their Cluster headache.
8% of American cluster headache suffers are
unemployed or on disability.
0.004% of hospital appointments
in England (485) were for cluster headaches. This
is 12 years old.
