In the Vågå study of headache epidemiology, a search was made also for cluster headache. Of the available 18-65-year-old dalesmen, 1838 (88.6%) could be examined personally (O.S.) - 51.3% females and 48.7% males. Based on current International Headache Society criteria, cluster headache seemed to be present in seven dalesmen, one female and six males (corresponding to a total prevalence of 381 per 100 000; 95% confidence interval (CI) 153-783 per 100 000). Except for the female gender, the female case was fairly typical. In one case, there were short-lasting bouts ('minibouts'). It was felt that this also was a genuine case of cluster headache. If one excluded the latter case, there would be one female and five males [a prevalence of 106 per 100 000 for females, and 558 per 100 000 for males, giving a prevalence in the total population of 326 per 100 000 (95% CI 120-709 per 100 000)]. The confidence interval was considerable. This study therefore does not give a clear indication as to prevalence.
在瓦格头痛流行病学研究中，也对丛集性头痛进行了调查。在18至65岁的现有山谷居民中，1838人（88.6%）接受了个人检查（O.S.），其中女性占51.3%，男性占48.7%。根据当前国际头痛协会的标准，7名山谷居民似乎患有丛集性头痛，其中1名女性和6名男性（相当于每10万人中总患病率为381；95%置信区间（CI）为每10万人中153 - 783）。除了女性性别外，该女性病例相当典型。在一个病例中，存在短暂发作（“迷你发作”）。人们认为这也是一例真正的丛集性头痛病例。如果排除后一个病例，将有1名女性和5名男性[女性患病率为每10万人中106，男性患病率为每10万人中558，总人口患病率为每10万人中326（95% CI为每10万人中120 - 709）]。置信区间相当大。因此，这项研究并未明确表明患病率情况。
