FRÆÐIGREINAR
RANNSÓKN
verklagi sínu vitandi af því að rannsókn væri í
gangi. Veikleikar rannsóknarinnar eru hins vegar
þeir að ekki er hægt að fullyrða almennt um
faraldsfræðilegar upplýsingar eins og algengi
mígrenis á íslandi og jafnframt er vafalaust
nokkur hópur sjúklinga með mígreni sem ekki
nýtir sér þjónustu á heilsugæslustöð og við höfum
því ekki upplýsingar um.
Niðurstöður rannsóknarinnar sýna að talsvert
stór hópur fólks fær greiningu og meðferð vegna
mígrenis á heilsugæslustöð á Islandi. Miðað við
algengistölur erlendis frá, í faraldsfræðilegum
rannsóknum, er þó ljóst að ákveðinn hluti
mígrenisjúklinga virðist ekki leita til heimilis-
læknis vegna greiningar eða meðferðar. Með
markvissari greiningu mígrenisjúklinga er líklegt
að draga mætti eitthvað úr notkun tölvu-
sneiðmynda af höfði. Lyfjanotkun er mikil og út-
breidd hjá þessum sjúklingahópi og algengustu
lyfjaflokkamir sem læknar ávísuðu voru triptan-
lyf, NSAID og verkjalyf sem innihalda kódein.
