There is a lack of data on the burden of primary headache disorders such as migraine on emergency services. Existing data relies on a coding of "headache", which encompasses both primary and secondary headache of all causes; for example, subarachnoid haemorrhage. Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Trust in London is one of the UK's busiest emergency departments with 150,000 attendances per year. Our aim was to assess the healthcare resource utilisation of primary headaches, in particular migraine, in acute medical services.
