Characteristics of men and women with medically diagnosed cluster headache in a national integrated healthcare system: A Veterans Health Administration cohort study
To our knowledge this is the largest hospital system study of CH to date and reinforces several previous studies. Pain, mental health, and sleep disorders comorbidities are particularly prevalent in this group and were often more common in women compared to men with CH. Future work should examine gender and race stratified prevalence estimates within the VHA and other healthcare systems.
