A new report has added weight to the sentiment that migraine is far from inconsequential, showing it costs the Australian economy about $35.7 billion a year.
The Deloitte Access Economics Migraine in Australia paper says that includes $14.3 billion worth of health system costs, about $2.2 billion of which are paid by those experiencing the condition.
About $16.3 billion of the costs to the economy are in lost productivity.
