Abstract:
Headaches are a common disorder. Our hospital is a general emergency hospital located in the center
of a suburban city in Japan. Our facility consists of 400 beds and 532 workers. The Department of
Neurosurgery and the Headache Clinic at our hospital initiated clinical services five years ago. Data
regarding the prevalence of headaches among hospital workers are scarce. Hospital workers are often
assumed to have more knowledge concerning various common health issues, including headaches.
However, the knowledge regarding headaches among hospital workers has not yet been reported.
Therefore, we investigated the prevalence of and knowledge regarding prophylactic drugs and medication
overuse causing headaches among workers at our hospital.
