This is the first study to assess the prevalence of headache and migraine among Pomeranian descendents in Brazil. A high prevalence of headache in the last 6 months was found (53.2%). Most headache sufferers were diagnosed as having migraine (55%). More women reported to have headache than men (65% and 33.8%, respectively). Migraine was the most common headache found among women (62.2%). Among men migraine was responsible for only 37.8% of the cases of headache. A high impact of headache was found, especially among migraineurs. Most of the headache sufferers declared to seek medical assistance for headache (67%) and most of them used to take common analgesics for headache relief. None of them was under prophylactic therapy.
这是第一项评估巴西博美犬后裔中头痛和偏头痛患病率的研究。研究发现，过去6个月中头痛的患病率很高（53.2%）。大多数头痛患者被诊断为患有偏头痛（55%）。报告有头痛的女性多于男性（分别为65%和33.8%）。偏头痛是女性中最常见的头痛类型（62.2%）。在男性中，偏头痛仅占头痛病例的37.8%。研究发现头痛的影响很大，尤其是在偏头痛患者中。大多数头痛患者表示会因头痛寻求医疗帮助（67%），并且他们中的大多数人过去常常服用普通镇痛药来缓解头痛。他们中没有人接受预防性治疗。
