Global burden trends of tension-type headache, 1990–2021: socio-demographic patterns, age-period-cohort effects, and frontier analysis from the GBD 2021 study
Our research reveals that TTH remains a substantial global health challenge, with its burden increasingly shifting toward younger populations in middle-income countries. This epidemiological transition, coupled with significant untapped potential for burden reduction even in high-SDI nations, demands the urgent development of context-specific public health strategies to mitigate the growing impact of this highly prevalent disorder.
