Key messages
- This analysis of the OVERCOME study determined the proportion of people with migraine and associated disability who traverse each of the steps inthe patient journey and compared individuals at each step for sociodemographic features, migraine-related characteristics, and healthcare utilization for migraine.
- Only a small proportion (27.9%) of those with headache-related disability traverse all 3 steps to getting recommended acute medication for migraine
- Having health insurance and having severe migraine-related disability were positively related to traversing each step, while seeking care in an Emergency Department/Urgent Care/Retail Clinic only is less likely to lead to appropriate diagnosis and/or receiving recommended acute medications relative to seeking care in a specialist or primary care setting
