Use of outpatient medical care by headache patients in Germany: a population-based cross-sectional study

ConclusionThe results indicate that apart from burden-related factors (headache frequency; headache impact), health care utilization patterns are also influenced by patients ’ occupational status and age. Further research is needed to analyze whether the lower consultation rate means that the self-employed have a higher risk of chronification or that they have more effective self-management strategies regarding headache.
