Impact of migraine on productivity and efficiency among adult population in India: a scoping review
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Migraine is a common neurological disorder that has a major negative influence on productivity loss and quality of life. Significant socioeconomic consequences are associated with the condition, such as decreased productivity at work and increased medical expenses. The frequency is higher in women, especially in reproductive age, and the burden varies globally. In India, the prevalence of migraine is 25%; this is higher than the global prevalence of 14.7%. The scoping review is undertaken with an aim to synthesize existing literature that summarizes the impact of migraine on productivity among working professionals, with a focus on its determinants in India.
METHODS: A systematic scoping review, with a comprehensive search strategy, was conducted across major databases. Eligibility criteria for studies to be included focused on prevalence, economic and observational studies involving adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with migraines. Studies conducted from January 2014 to October 2024 in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) were included. Data extraction was standardized, capturing key study characteristics. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the JBI score checklist for the assessment of cross-sectional and prevalence studies. The pooled estimates for productivity loss were collated from individual studies and adjusted per capita national income. This pooled productivity loss was used to estimate the per day economic loss based…
