The study took in responses from 606 migraine patients in Singapore and found that, on average, respondents missed 9.8 days of work a year due to migraine.
SINGAPORE (Sept 18): How much does a migraine cost? The type of throbbing headaches cost Singapore some $1.04 billion last year, according to new research released Wednesday by the DUKE-NUS Medical School and Novartis.
A whopping 80% of that cost came from a loss of productivity due to missed workdays or impacts on capacity to carry out daily jobs, while the remainder was from medical tests and consultations.
